Children's personal health budgets

A Personal Health Budget is an amount of money to support a child or young person's individual health needs which is planned and agreed between the child/family and their local NHS team. Children or young people who meet the Continuing Care criteria are eligible to request a personal health budget.

There are 3 ways you can have a  personal budget. You can have:

• direct payments made into your account - you buy and manage services yourself
• no actual money as the local NHS service has commissioned support on your behalf
• third-party arrangements - you choose someone else to manage the money for you
