NHS England have asked local NHS providers/commissioners to come up with a local plan explaining how they will deliver the priorities set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
Healthwatch Torbay’s role is to find out what local people think about the NHS Long Term Care Plan and feed this back to NHS England and Healthwatch England. It’s important from a local perspective that service user voices have an opportunity to speak out and be heard at a local and national level. Within the priority areas we have been selected to find out more information from service users/carers/relatives about the services they may receive in Torbay Heart & Lung / Cancer services. The information collated will be used in a formal report to inform NHS England and the Clinical Commissioning Group and other key stakeholders regarding the services. There is an opportunity for you to complete a national survey which we hope you will take the opportunity to complete as it is important for local service users in Torbay to have a voice as part of the national survey.
