Personal Health Budgets
A personal health budget is an amount of NHS money that is allocated to support your health and wellbeing needs. If you’re eligible for it, you (or someone who represents you), will work with your local NHS team to plan how you spend the money and get the care you need. A personal health budget allows you to manage your healthcare and support such as treatments, equipment and personal care, in a way that suits you. Find out more on the NHS website.
