Personal Health Budgets
Personal Health budgets were introduced by the NHS in April 2015 with a view to allow people in receipt of NHS funded care having the independence of a personal budget.
At Complete Care Agency we work collaboratively with the NHS and were involved with the piloting of the Personal Health Budget in October 2014. Being involved in the pilot has given us greater insight into the complexities of the Personal Health Budget and allowed us to develop processes which ensure the smooth transition of budgets.
Why a Personal Health Budget
A personal Health Budget puts you in the driving seat, it allows you to choose the company you want to work with, and having that choice allows you to take control. Working alongside your provider enables you to be at the centre of the care you want. Personal Health Budgets allow you the freedom of developing a package of care that suits your needs. Enables you to decide what is important to you.
