The Government is asking the public to share their ideas to help develop a new 10-year plan to improve the NHS. Everyone in England is invited to share their views on how NHS services can be made better. 

 

Commenting on why people should get involved, Louise Ansari, Chief Executive of Healthwatch England, said:

"We know people appreciate the hard work of NHS staff, but they are all too aware that the NHS faces many challenges that need fixing. The 10-year plan provides the opportunity to do this. 

"We urge everyone to have their say on how the NHS should deliver better care to people where and when it is needed, more support to help people stay well, and a culture of listening to and acting on the views of patients. 

"All too often, people face unequal access to care, with disabled people and those on lower incomes being particularly at risk. The NHS belongs to us all, so you must speak up and help create a health service that is fit for the future – equal and inclusive for everyone."

You can get involved by visiting the Change NHS website to share your views, ideas or experiences.
