Rutland County Council are undertaking a joint consultation with Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council to consider our options for the future provision of Healthwatch services in each of the local authority areas from April 2018.
They have jointly produced an online survey to collect views from the public and professionals alike – both those who currently use Healthwatch services and those who might wish to in the future. Hard copies of the consultation will also be available at GP surgeries and libraries across Rutland.
The survey is open from Tuesday 1st August to Friday 8th September at: https://consultations.leicester.gov.uk/adult-social-care-health-and-housing/healthwatch-proposals
Is this actually going to be implemented, or will it be another Cameron Local Plan debacle? We were involved where we previously lived but nothing came of it, the government reneged and a lot of time was wasted.
