| Annotation | One outcome of Lord Darzi's next stage review of the National Health Service (NHS) is that the government is set to empower patients with personal budgets for care in a pilot programme being launched in early 2009. The authors comment that clear rules must guarantee that choices are well-informed and cost-effective. They suggest that if personalised care planning were better resourced, then there would be no need for a personal budgets policy. (RH). |
