Personal Health Budgets : Treat or Treatment?

09 September 2015 by Val Bowen

In response to recent press reports concerning the use and suggested misuse of NHS resources for Personal Health Budgets, Disability Rights UK ( DRUK ) calls for greater investment in support for those with long term health conditions, not less. DRUK states “Personal Health Budgets do something critically important. They offer a way forward for people with long-term conditions: a personal plan to enable them to manage their own condition and their life. The evaluation of personal health budgets has shown that this imaginative approach is cost effective and a good use of public money. We encourage clinicians to get involved in this vital transformation (as many are already doing) and help create empowering support for millions of people – rather than criticising it.” View full article .

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
