What Are Your Views On This?
26 Answers
I'm undecided although I dont think the argument "It is privatizing the NHS" holds much weight.
I think it would give many the care they need and indeed the many would spend it wisely but what about those who dont? This may not just be just being frivolous (although I'm sure a few would spend it on beer & fags) but what if your about to be cut off or evicted, surely the temptation would be to pay off those bills with money intended for treatment?
Wouldn't a voucher scheme to approved outlets be a better idea? That gives everyone choice but choice to spend it on the 'correct' items.

Doesn't really tell you much about how this will work,Does a doctor have to approve each spend.or just decide in a general way what it should be spent on.What happens if,as you have pointed out, the money is all spent on other things and then the patient requires medical attention.All in all I don't think that I am in favour of the idea.
No it is not a joke.
From the article:
"Far more people with mental health problems, dementia and physical and learning disabilities will have the right to select and pay for treatments they want. The money will be paid directly to them and can be spent on whatever that they think best helps to manage their condition, as long as a doctor agrees."

Perhaps, as the OP suggests, a voucher scheme for approved health-care facilities would be a safeguard against improper use of funds - but I can't see how people suffering from dementia, a lot of mental health problems or who have learning disabilities (minor things like dyslexia apart) can be expected to explore ranges of treatment and make a considered decision.
Many should have the guidance of a Professional through the process.
