Is a Personal Health Budget the best way to personalize health care?
Personal Health Budgets have been embraced dramatically by government ministers as a means of giving service users a wider choice, control, and flexibility.
A speech was given in 2010 around July, from Paul Burstow, the Minister of State for the care services, who had described them as the exemplar of what the government aims to achieve. Personal Health Budgets encloses what we represent, the aim is to change the relationship between the citizen and the government. To do less to people and more with them.
In most cases personal health budgets were used to enable people to live more independently, for example, they would take the recruitment process into their own hands and sort out who they want to work with themselves to provide the service of care needed. Personal Health Budgets can also be used to purchase mobility aids or provide travel to support groups or day centers. Others use their Personal Health Budgets to pay for their treatments such as physiotherapy and other therapies.
