Law to enable Direct Payments for CHC in Wales receives Royal Assent

The Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill received Royal Assent on 24 March 2025. 

The new legislation enables Direct Payments to be used for Continuing Healthcare payments from the NHS. 

It also will enable Wales to transition care for looked-after children so that it is only delivered by not-for-profit providers.
