Bury Healthwatch |
What is Bury Healthwatch and why do we want your views?
Local Healthwatch will be the new people’s “champion” for health and social care services. This builds upon the work of Local Involvement Networks (LINks) and will help support individuals and communities to become more involved in the planning, buying and delivery of health and social care. Bury Healthwatch will replace Bury Local Involvement Network as the local voice for the whole population including children and young people, working age adults, parents, older people and people with disabilities. As an organisation it will be representative and inclusive of the diverse community we have within the six Bury townships.
Local Healthwatch will be an independent organisation able to employ its own staff and involving volunteers. It will keep accounts and make its annual reports available to the public. Healthwatch will work with the Care Quality Commission to check that local health and social care providers meet agreed service standards. The service will be formed in April 2013.
