The government plans to introduce changes through the Health and Social Care Bill. One of these changes is to have new Local HealthWatch in place in each area. Wiltshire Council is responsible for ensuring Local HealthWatch is commissioned in Wiltshire. It will be a new independent champion for people who use health and social care and it will:
- make sure local people have a say about health and social care
- make sure local people have advocacy and support to make choices about services
Wiltshire Council are holding some workshop events to decide what Wiltshire people think is most important for our new Wiltshire HealthWatch. There will be lots of opportunities to contribute and have your say in the workshops. Your views and responses will help us to make sure Wiltshire has the best possible HealthWatch. The events will take place on:
DEVIZES | TROWBRIDGE | SALISBURY |
Tuesday 13 December 2011 09:45am – 12:45pm Devizes Sports Club, London Road, Devizes, SN10 2DL | Tuesday 24 January 2012 13:30pm – 16:30pm Trowbridge Civic Centre, St Stephens Place, Trowbridge, BA14 8AH | Wednesday 15 February 2012 09:45am – 12:45pm Salisbury Methodist Hall, St Edmund’s Church Street, Salisbury, SP1 1EF |
