Healthwatch England - A review of the last three months

Did you know that all of the intelligence we collect from people in North Somerset about local Health and Care services gets anonymised and fed into Healthwatch England.

This helps to form a National picture of the state of Health and Care services. That’s why it’s one of the most important functions that we complete.

Healthwatch England: A review of the last three months

Each month, thousands of people share their experiences of health and social care support with us. Find out what people told us over the summer about community services, hospital treatment, mental health support and social care services.

To help NHS and social care staff understand what is working and what could be better when it comes to the support they provide, we have looked at the views that 17,000 people shared with us between July and September 2018.   

We received a mix of both positive and negative comments, and continued to hear about top issues, such as getting a GP appointment, registering with a GP and hospital delays.

However, our briefing also looks at emerging issues in our evidence across four areas of health and social care, how this is affecting people, as well as the steps we’re taking to make a difference.
