Consultation Paper: eligibility criteria for amputations

The Authority has prepared a Consultation Paper raising issues for consideration relating to the eligibility criteria for amputations. This is part of a revision of Part 1 of the LTCS Guidelines, specifically the eligibility criteria for participation in the Scheme for participants with multiple amputations. Any changes intend to resolve ambiguity in the wording of the current criteria and specify clearly the types of amputations that are eligible for the Scheme.

The Authority is interested in the views of stakeholders on these issues and has framed various questions in the Consultation Paper for consideration and comment, including an option for the new eligibility criteria for amputations. The Authority hopes to receive submissions on the issues raised in the Consultation Paper to assist with finalisng the new draft eligibility criteria for amputations. Stakeholders will then have opportunity to provide comment on the draft Guideline when it is circulated before the Guideline is gazetted.
