Growing personal health budget take up and impact
NHS Cheshire and Merseyside has worked with social enterprise Community Catalysts on a project looking at how personal health budgets work in Cheshire and Merseyside.
The project focussed on personal health budgets for people eligible for continuing healthcare and children and young people's continuing care.
Findings from the report show that personal health budgets can change people’s lives and are good value for the NHS and social care.
