Have Your Say on the Future of the NHS in Shropshire

Today we are launching ‘What would you do?’; a campaign to encourage the people of Shropshire to have their say about the future of the NHS in our area and we need your help. Take a look at this short video on youtube:

Healthwatch Shropshire is the county’s independent health and care champion. Through ‘What would you do?’ we will seek to reach as many people, groups, and communities as possible to get feedback on how local NHS services should change.

The Government is investing £20 billion a year in the NHS as part of the NHS Long Term Plan. Local organisations have now been asked to work together to develop their own plans, which will set out how the national plan will work across local areas.

The public are being asked for their views about how services for cancer, mental health conditions, heart and lung diseases, long-term conditions, such as diabetes and arthritis, learning disabilities, autism, and dementia could be improved. They will also be asked to share their ideas on how people can live healthier lives and what improvements they think could be made to help people access services quickly.

These two surveys can be found here:http://www.healthwatchshropshire.co.uk/what-would-you-do
