A number of strategic health authorities are seeking legal advice over their position in relation to the health service ombudsman's findings that thousands of people have been incorrectly made to pay for their long term care.
All strategic health authorities were required to report on how many people would be eligible to be reimbursed to the department of health in March, and have been given until the end of May to get legal advice on their situation.
The government is set to review the 2001 national guidance on continuing care in June.
