In a speech at the NHS Confederation annual conference in Liverpool on 24 June 2010, the Secretary of State for Health set out how a vision for patient-centred care will propel the NHS, the professionals and the frontline through the unique and challenging times ahead.
The speech, "Shifting power to the frontline", referred to personal health budgets:
"...I will build on the good work being done, on QIPP, which is fundamental to success, on CQUIN, on payment by results, on practice based commissioning on foundation trust freedoms, the piloting of personal health budgets and joint working with local government."
