Personal health budgets
Children who are in receipt of NHS Continuing Care funding and adults who are in receipt of NHS Continuing Healthcare funding are able to be considered for a personal health budget.
The right to a personal health budget is currently available to those children who are eligible for NHS Continuing Care (up to 18 years) and adults who are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare (18 years and above). This will be children, young people and adults who have complex needs and require support services that cannot be met by universal and targeted health services (all of which are part of the Local Offer).
If you are receiving NHS Continuing Care or NHS Continuing Healthcare and are interested in possibly having a personal health budget, please speak to the lead professional co-ordinating your care in the first instance.
