Key Facts

23,470 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.

18% of Personal Health Budgets were delivered as direct payments

75% of Personal Health Budgets were delivered as notional budgets, and 6% 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.
