Personal health budgets

A personal health budget is an amount of money to support your healthcare and wellbeing needs. You and your local NHS team will plan and agree on how to use the money.

People who are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare have a legal right to ask for a personal health budget.

A key part of a personal health budget is your care and support plan. This plan helps you and your local NHS team decide your health and wellbeing goals and how to use your budget to achieve them.
