Healthwatch Priorities

We want to know what YOU think Healthwatch should be focusing on over the next 12 months and why. Each year we ask people in our community which areas of health and care we should focus our work on. To help health and care services to be planned to meet your needs, it is important that your voice is heard. We want to hear from as many of you as possible. As services begin to recover, we want to understand the impact COVID has had on you and the way services are delivered.
