Following completion of a successful three year pilot study, the Department of Health has given the go-ahead for the NHS to roll out Phase 2 of the Personal Health Budget scheme.

Currently the scheme targets those in receipt of a Continuing Healthcare Budget (CHB) and as part of its expansion will begin to include people who have a chronic life limiting condition.

Nine sites have been chosen to participate in the second phase of the scheme - Going Further Faster.

The scheme has already seen many major positive outcomes for those in the pilot cohort.
