Tonys story

Health funding

Personal AssistantsWork LtdComputer tuitionLeisure activities

Tonys storyan amazing improvement in his quality of life. It has given him so much more freedom to explore life. Without this individual budget he would not have been able to do anything like the things he can do now. It is encouraging Tony to have a bit of an independent life style. And with Tony having his PAs, I have more time to spend with my other two sons who both have learning difficulties. And Tony cant stop smiling!Parent

Emerging stories: health budgets for children and young people

What Kim was offered in the last weeks of his life. And before that respite, residential school. Services. We opted for going home, and this was made possible because of the goodwill and commitment of a number of people in health. *
