Healthwatch County Durham exists to give everyone who uses health and social care services in the county a voice. It gathers your views on services and shares your feedback – good and bad – with those who have the power to change how services work. And now it’s giving you the chance to decide which services it focuses on next.
Healthwatch County Durham has compiled a list of six priority areas, based on information passed to it over the last year, and now it would like you to choose which four it investigates in 2018-19. The six areas to choose from are:
• Mental health support services
• Appointment systems in GP surgeries
• Dementia support
• Transition support (from children to adult services)
• Patient transport
• Dental charges and treatment
To vote for the four areas you would like Healthwatch County Durham to focus on call 0800 304 7039 to request a hard copy of the survey. The deadline for voting is 31 March 2018.
