GP Access Survey - The views of St Helens Residents - June 2025

A total of 488 residents in St Helens participated in the survey. The survey revealed both challenges and successes in how GP services are provided, shedding light on real-life challenges with phone queues, online booking systems, and the 8am appointment scramble.

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board commissioned the nine Healthwatch organisations to assess how recent changes to GP services are functioning in practice—and to ensure public feedback plays a key role in shaping future improvements.

Is local Healthwatch accountable to Healthwatch England

Is local Healthwatch accountable to Healthwatch England?

No, your local Healthwatch is commissioned by their local authority and will be accountable to them.

However when something is a problem and other local Healthwatchs are experiencing it too, Healthwatch England will gather evidence to look at the problem on a regional or national basis.
