Government plans to exceed the rights of a Personal Health Budget
The health secretary on the 8th of March had set out targets for a “radical acceleration” of personal health budgets which are part of a newly formed agenda.
This includes a significantly massive expansion on the current target which sits at 200,00 service users to have a personal health budget by the year 2024 additionally up to 4 million people accessing “personalized care” by March 2024
There was a speech stating that the NHS is already becoming a more personalized service with personalized budgets, personalized technology, personalized medicine, and treatment. That they want to see the radical acceleration of that process.
“The current target Is set for 200,00 people to have a Personal Health Budget by 2024, but they want to see a significant expansion in the coming years. We will start by exploring the extension of legal rights to enable significantly more people to benefit”
The statement also stated that the NHS has exceeded its target of “2.5 million” people having benefitted from personalized care 2 years early due to care providers delivering an outstanding amount of care and service.
Setting out this agenda, the statement has stressed that this comes as the NHS faces some “long-Term Challenges” in the rise of patient expectations and an “unsustainable financial trajectory”
In 2018, the government proposed everything to extend the right to have a Personal Health Budget to people with ongoing mental health needs, learning disabilities, and autism. As well as those who have left or are leaving the army.
The amount of Personal Health Budgets has been rising every year since they launched the project back in 2014, with a rough amount of 23,000 people who received one in the first nine months of 2017 and 2018.
