Healthwatch Walsall Annual Report 2018-2019

Local people have their own views on how services should be delivered and we have been ensuring that we continue to talk to local people about what they feel is needed and sharing those views or comments with service commissioners or providers. We have successfully worked on a range of priorities including Cancer services, Care Assessments, Patient Discharge from the hospital to name a few. Healthwatch Walsall is also looking to ensure that there is a commitment for Patient Participation Groups (PPG’s) to play a key role in representing patients at the primary care level as noted in the NHS Long Term Plan.
