Key Facts

106,126 people received Personal Health Budgets

89,124 adults and 17,002 children and young people received Personal Health Budgets by the end of Quarter 1 2023-24.

19,188 adults with a Personal Health Budget were eligible for Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) is a package of care for adults aged 18 or over which is arranged and funded solely by the NHS.

19% of Personal Health Budgets were delivered as direct payments

78% of Personal Health Budgets were delivered as notional budgets, and 3% as third party budgets.

A notional budget is where the NHS arranges and pays for the care; a direct payment is where the individual receives payment to buy care and support, and arranges it themselves; and a third party budget is where another organisation receives the payment and arranges the care.
