Your health, your care, your
say about the NHS |
The Department of Health recognises that not all
health and social care services are sufficiently meeting
people’s needs so they are currently undertaking a
major public engagement exercise to help shape services for
the 21 century.
The consultation is focusing on what people want from
community health and social care in their day-to-day lives – this
includes things like your GP, family planning services,
direct payments or directly provided services – and
will contribute to the development of a White Paper aimed
at improving community health and care services.
As Hampshire County Council’s Adult Services Department
provides social care to the community they are particularly
interested in ensuring as many people as possible give
their views and would like to encourage all staff and residents
to take part.
Ensure you have your say on the future of health and social
care services by taking a few minutes to complete the online
survey.
The Department of Heath is also encouraging local organisations
to get involved in the consultation by running their own
listening events. A
resource pack is available which includes advice on
organising an event and arranging publicity. You will need
to register online first before you can access the information.
The closing date for responses to the survey and the listening
events is 18th November 2005. |
