that the care navigators were involved in a programme<br />
of visits to GP Practices to promote the project.<br />
57.2 Personal Budgets<br />
Personal budgets were established in 2008 with a<br />
target of providing every service user with a budget by<br />
2013. The budgets were allocations of funding given to<br />
users after an assessment of their needs. Users could<br />
either take a personal budget as a direct payment or,<br />
whilst choosing how their care needs would be met,<br />
would leave local authorities and health commissioners<br />
with the responsibility to commission the services on<br />
their behalf.<br />
Personal health budgets were currently being piloted in<br />
the <strong>NHS</strong> in England. In October 2011 the Secretary of<br />
State for Health had announced that subject to<br />
evaluation of the pilot, everyone in receipt of <strong>NHS</strong><br />
Continuing Healthcare would have a right to request a<br />
personal health budget by <strong>April</strong> 2014. This would form<br />
part of a broader rollout of personal health budgets to<br />
people with long-term health conditions.<br />
<strong>NHS</strong> <strong>Barnsley</strong> was currently in the process of<br />
becoming a pilot site for personal health budgets for<br />
people with CHC needs. It had not been possible to<br />
offer direct payments in the past but the pilot would<br />
enable the PCT to extend an offer of personal health<br />
budget to include direct payments. Within <strong>NHS</strong> South<br />
Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Doncaster PCT was a first<br />
wave pilot site and it would therefore be possible to<br />
secure advice and support from that source. In<br />
addition, the options and potential benefits of a Clusterwide<br />
approach to the pilot were being considered.<br />
The Committee agreed to note the position and<br />
support the developments being progressed through<br />
the People in Control Programme Board.<br />
