Personal Health Budget

I told you a few weeks ago that I was being assest for the phb. After a visit from social worker and specialist nurse (both very helpful) My application was successful and I have been granted 42hrs PA cover. This is a step towards phb as I believe the first people to be offered phb funding are the ones (like me now) who receive continuing health care. I come under notes county council. So 50% funding between the and ncc.

1st step) I got an assessment from social services which if request they have to carry out within a specific time scale.

2nd step) requested an assessment for continued health care, funded by NHS. Successful assessment agreed to go 50 / 50 with social services.

3rd step) once you have both above agreed , YOU become entitled to be assessed for a personal health budget.

It seems a long road to go down but step 1 & 2 have to be done within certain timescales. Search Google for PHB.

Best wishes

Allan can I ask ,your 42 hours pa ( I guess that's personal assistance) what does that mean you get?? And if you got the PHB what difference has that made and what do you get ??

Not what you're looking for?
