Summary of report content

This report was written by Brent Mental Health User Group (BUG) following financial support from Healthwatch Brent. It focuses on the use of personal budgets for mental health support.

The report was published January, 2017. It is based on survey responses, discussions with local people, and a review of requests for assistance from Brent mental health user group (BUG). Whilst there are various figures given for total respondents this is unclear, but is about 10 people. A large number of support requests were also reviewed (approx 247) though the actual total is also unclear in the report.

Overall sentiment was mixed.

A set of recommendations has been made. No response from providers is attached, though this project does not engage with a single provider of services.
