What is a Personal Health Budget (PHB)?

A Personal Health Budget (PHB) is an amount of NHS money given to support a person’s health and wellbeing needs. It is based on a care plan that is made together by the person (or their representative) and the local NHS team.

Key points:

• It’s an amount of NHS money given to someone to help with their health and wellbeing.
• The money is used for a care plan made by the person (or their carer) and their NHS team.
• PHBs help people with long-term health problems or disabilities in England have more control over their care.

Key Ideas of PHBs

1. Focus on the Person – The care plan is based on what the person needs and wants.
2. Work Together – The person and their NHS team make the plan together.
3. Be Flexible – The money can be used in creative ways to meet health needs.
4. Be Clear – The person knows how much money they have for their care.
5. Check It Works – The plan is reviewed regularly to make sure it’s helping.

Why Training is Needed

• Helps healthcare workers, patients, and carers understand how PHBs work.
• Teaches everyone how to make and manage a care plan.
• Makes sure the money is used well to improve health and wellbeing.
