Continuing healthcare funding

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

We are soon to have a meeting to try and gain funding for continuing healthcare

needs.This is to try and get the health service to contribute to the cost of

daughters ongoing care.

We have been told it is virally impossible these days to get health funding for

people with autism.

Has anyone been through this process either unsuccessfully or not.? Does anyone

have any advice to offer.

Apparently the panel

just want evidence dating back for 1 month only , showing evidence ofhealth

needs.

It's all really maddening as the NHS won't properly investigate abnormal test

results we have had done privately eg relating to thyroid, hormones,I, viral

titres (you know the score) and the only evidence they will go on what the

paediatrician tells them. He is extremely dismissive of all our health

concerns.It's maddening that the NHS caused this problem,refused to investigate

or treat it and won't contribute to the cost of ongoing care. This is a process

that kicks in when they are 18 by the way.Don't you just hate the NHS.!

Rant over advice anyone?i
