No specific estimate has been made. The Fit for the Future: 10-Year Health Plan for England commits to giving people more choice and control over their care. We have committed to at least doubling the number of people offered a personal health budget by the 2028/29 financial year, and we will make personal health budgets a universal offer for all who would benefit from them by 2035.
