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 />
