Has anyone had a chance to look at the NHS review? Will it make any difference to things like mental health or social care? I've done a very quick blog on it and I noticed a couple of things like promising people a right to choose type of treatment, piloting of personal health budgets and new integrated health and social care organisations.

 I haven't had a chance to look at it extensively. There seem to be some useful and interesting points and I think it's important that positive mental health has been stressed as one of the outcomes. 

My reservations about personal health budgets remain exactly the same as the reservations I have about personalisation - namely, for some people they will, no doubt, be very good, but how will they work for the people who are currently at the lower end of the uptake of direct payments - however I suppose with health there's a much broader group to work with initially. 

But generally from a very initial glance, it seems positive. 

It's hard to see at a glance what it will mean for social care.

For instance, how will the health personal budgets relate to social care personal budgets? Will people be able to integrate the two and if so how?

Also, Darzi appears to be mooting these new creatures called integrated care organisations which seem to be integrated provider bodies drawn from health and social care organisations. No details seemingly on how these will work that I've seen.

But maybe that's all to come.
