Local HealthWatch
As part of the Health and Social Care Bill, a new consumer champion for users of health and social care services will be created. This will be known as HealthWatch. HealthWatch will exist locally as Local HealthWatch. Nationally, there will be an organisation called HealthWatch England, which looks at services across England.
Wiltshire Council has a responsibility to ensure that Wiltshire has its own Local HealthWatch which, subject to the passage of the Health and Social care Bill, will be launched in October 2012.
To have your say on how HealthWatch can work best for you, please complete this questionnaire.
Wiltshire Council will be holding a number of stakeholder events to further develop ideas around Local HealthWatch. There are limited places on the workshops, so if you want to come, please contact Dot Kronda on 01225 718306 or e-mail dot.kronda@wiltshire.gov.uk or Julie Martin on 01225 858816 or e-mail julie.martin@wiltshire.gov.uk with your name, contact details and any access requirements to book a place.
