The Government is asking for your views on the NHS
This project is called ‘Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future’. The Government says it will use peoples' feedback to shape the NHS's plans and priorities. You can take part here: Project: Start here | Change NHS and it is open for several months.
If you represent an organisation, you can fill in the organisation questionnaire instead, which closes on 2nd December.
There will also be a series of events across the country for people to get involved in.
Wes Streeting, Health & Social Care Secretary, describes the project in this video:
Louise Ansari, Chief Executive of Healthwatch England, has encouraged people to get involved:
"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."
