A Personal Health Budget (PHB) is one way of personalising people's care to ensure they get the care they need. It is an amount of money to support a person's identified health and wellbeing needs, planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team, or with a partner organisation on behalf of the NHS (such as a local authority).

In December 2019 the legal ‘right to have’ a personal health budget was extended from NHS continuing healthcare, and children and young people’s continuing care to include Section 117 Mental Health Aftercare and people eligible for wheelchair services (Personal Wheelchair Budgets). The data collected will be used to monitor progress against trajectories and the roll out in areas with a legal right.
