Personal Health Budgets

If you have identified healthcare needs then you may be given a personal health budget by the NHS.

Personal health budgets can either be provided directly to the person who requires care or it can be utilised to build a care package with the individuals chosen care provider.

People in receipt of NHS continuing healthcare funding are eligible for a personal health budget. A personal health budget enables the individual to have greater involvement and flexibility with their care. It also gives them greater autonomy.

Those who receive a personal health budget can choose to organise their care directly or they can work in collaboration with the team within the NHS to find a care provider that can meet their needs and requirements.
