This consultation proposes some changes to the regulations based on
learning from the recent pilot programme and discussions with personal
health budget holders, healthcare professionals and other organisations.
It discusses what will be excluded, for example acute and unplanned
care and access to GP services. It also asks for views on issues
including eligibility, paying family members for carrying out
administrative functions, allowing local authorities to make direct
payments for healthcare and separate bank accounts. Responses are
invited until the 26th April 2013.
