The aim of a Personal Health Budget is to enable people with long-term health conditions, the elderly, and the disabled to have a better quality of life. Anyone who is granted a Personal Health Budget from their local council will find that they can use the funds and support from their local authority to enjoy more flexibility, choice, and control in how to live their life.

Personal Health Budgets aim to empower disabled people and the elderly (and their carers), who will be using social care / health services to take charge of the support they need to live independently. The person receiving the Personal Health Budget gets the opportunity to be in control of the care they need by deciding on what will best meet their health and wellbeing requirements.

Through a Personal Health Budget, you can live the life you want by seeing how much money you're entitled to so that you can pay for the support you need.
