A personal health budget is based upon a personalised care and support plan. This plan sets out someone’s health and wellbeing needs, the outcomes they wish to achieve, the amount of money available and how it will be spent.

If someone is interested in a personal health budget for themselves or someone they care for, they should talk to the local NHS team or health professional who helps them most often with their care – this might be a care manager or a GP.

People who want to apply for a personal health budget must be registered with a general practice within the Liverpool Place locality at the time of their application and meet one or more of the criteria listed on this page.

A personal health budget is an amount of money to support the identified health and wellbeing needs of an individual, which are planned and agreed between that person, or their representative, and Liverpool Place.
