| Annotation | The idea for personal health budgets builds on work with direct payments and personal budgets for social care. A personal health budget makes it clear to users and the people supporting them how much NHS money is available for individual NHS care, to meet health and well-being needs. This pamphlet answers questions on personal health budgets and how they could work: as a notional budget; a real budget held by a third party; or as a direct payment. A change in the law with the Health Bill currently going through Parliament is required for direct payment options to be tested. More information can be found on the website (at http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Healthcare/Highqualitycare... or by talking to a GP, care coordinator, or primary care trust (PCT). (RH). |
