Hello,
We've done some stories of late about personal health budgets and there does seem to be a degree of scepticism about them among both practitioners and service users, at least in the mental health field.
Just wondered if anyone had any experience of how they are working.
just wish they'd role them out for my potential CHC service users, when the DN's or PCT Nurses contact them the first thing they say is you can't have direct payment!
Yes I am working under thwe SDS framework and I have some very positive stories to tell. I also have grumbles and moans about those who are trying to impliment them and the general lack of knoledge from department to department.
