The Government has announced that it wants to change the law to:
1. Transfer the work of Healthwatch England to the Department of Health and Social Care.
2. Transfer the work of local Healthwatch services to the NHS and local authorities.
What does this mean right now?
While these changes will happen over time, the law has not yet been changed.
This means we are still here, open, and working for you.
We continue to:
1. Listen to your experiences of health and social care.
2. Share what we hear with those in power to help improve services.
3. Provide advice and information to help you find the support you need.
We will keep you updated as more details become available. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support.
