Have your say to help shape Rutland healthcare

Rutland Healthwatch has launched a consultation throughout April and May to shape health and care services in Rutland.
During both months the group will be approaching voluntary and community groups, clubs, support and patient groups, and parish councils, to run chat group sessions and meetings to discuss your ideas of what you want from local health and care services for Rutland.
The way health and social care services are organised is changing. The NHS Long-term Plan presents a strategy for integrated health and care in which decisions are made, and services are delivered, at three levels: System, Place and Neighbourhood.
At Place, the Rutland County Council, Public Health, voluntary sector and the Primary Care Network work in partnership with NHS providers to deliver health and care services in Rutland.
This collaboration is overseen by the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board, as the body responsible for local service design and integration, and will be influenced by the needs of the local community. So, public ideas are vital in helping to determine the design and delivery of services.
Rutland Healthwatch says it knows that accessing distant services out-of-county is a big issue and that people want excellent 'care closer to home'. The What matters to you? engagement will be asking;
- What health and care support should be available locally in the future that is not
available now?
- What would make local health and care services better?
- What would make it easier for you to take control of your own health and
- Do you have a story to tell us about how health and care services have worked
- telephone 01572 720381 and leave a message
- email [email protected], to book an interview or to send in a personal story of health and care experiences
