Personal Health Budget leaflets
Welcome to our collection of easy‑to‑read leaflets about Personal Health Budgets (PHBs) for people living in Cheshire and Merseyside. These resources are designed to help you, your family, or someone you care for understand what a PHB is, how it works, and how it can support personalised care through NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC).
We’ve kept the leaflets simple, friendly, and jargon‑free so you can quickly find the information you need. Whether you’re exploring your options for the first time or looking for guidance on using or managing a PHB, this section brings together clear, practical information created to support our local communities.
