    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to ensure access to therapeutic services across county commissioning boundaries

    Wider context from the report

    “The Cross border issue of care - whether patients can access services adequately when they have a GP in one County, and pay Council tax to another. In this case Mrs Ellis had a GP in Herefordshire, but paid Council Tax to Gloucestershire. This meant that her healthcare was being provided by Herefordshire Commissioners, and her social care from Gloucestershire Social Services. This result in her being unable to access therapeutic services from either commission. ”
