[QUOTE="graj0, post: 955168"] I'm hoping there isn't. A Daily Mail figure is it? What would happen when a patient reached that limit? Can I give the share I'm not using to a friend or relative? If the mirror can be believed "In Cornwall, five patients spent £267,000 between them on their personal health budgets", so that's over £50k each, bit more than the figure you mention. "In Horsham, Crawley and coastal West Sussex, £2.6million was spent on care packages for 44 people, the highest per patient of any of the CCGs". That's £60k a patient, even more than the figure you mentioned. There's something about prescription budgets here: [URL]http://bma.org.uk/practical-support-at-work/gp-practices/service-provision/prescribing/the-gp-practice/the-gp-practice-prescribing-budget[/URL]. There isn't a figure because it looks as though it will differ on a number of factors. The two examples I mentioned earlier would indicate that there might be guidelines but there will be exceptions.
