Personal Health Budgets Video

Personal Health Budgets Video

The NHS has released a new budget to help people who are receiving or feel they may be entitled to personal health budgets.

A personal health budget allows people to manage their healthcare and support such as treatments, equipment and personal care, in a way that suits them. The right to have one applies to people who are:-

  • Adults receiving NHS continuing healthcare (NHS-funded long-term health and personal care provided outside hospital)
  • Children receiving NHS continuing healthcare
  • People who are referred and meet the eligibility criteria of their local wheelchair service and people who are already registered with the wheelchair service when they need a new wheelchair or specialist buggy, either because of a change in clinical needs or the condition of the current chair. These people will be eligible for a personal wheelchair budget.
  • People with mental health problems who are eligible for section 117 after-care as a result of being detained under certain sections of the Mental Health Act (this does not include detention under section 2 of the Act).

You can find out more by watching the What is a personal health budget? video.

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 :)

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.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
