- Recent work of the Think Local Act Personal partnership to highlight what does and doesn't work well for older people using personal budgets, and what can be done to improve practice.
- Includes case studies from councils across England.
- Common themes which appear to have fostered the right conditions for the provision of personal health budgets for older people across demonstrator sites (Oxfordshire, Central Manchester, Nottingham City) are outlined.
- The report concludes that Personal Health Budgets can work effectively for older people, and can allow older people and their carers to maintain their chosen care and support when transitioning to Continuing Health Care.
