NHS personal health budgets spent on 'treats' for patients

Thousands of pounds from NHS "personal health budgets" are spent on "treats" such as holidays and clothes, a Freedom of Information request has found.

Pulse magazine said money had also gone on horse riding, art classes, massage, and, in one case, a summer house.

The budgets were brought in to give people in England with long-term conditions more control and choice over their healthcare and support.
