Public feedback report on hospital services

Report - 6 September 2015

Healthwatch North Somerset collects information from the general public about their experiences of local health and social care services. This information is shared with service providers, local commissioners and all other relevant bodies.

It was felt that an overall evaluation of the intelligence received regarding hospital services for the year to date would provide a useful overview for both service providers and the general public.  

The feedback contained within this report was received between January and August 2015.  

The North Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commission the hospitals mentioned in this report to provide services for the people of North Somerset.

Due to the travelling distance between Bristol service providers and North Somerset residents, the number of isolated, rural villages within the county and inadequate transport links, travel to Bristol hospitals and subsequent parking can prove to be difficult for North Somerset service users.

Community Transport services are inundated and the Healthwatch North Somerset Report: ‘Getting to Medical Appointments-Community Transport (March 2014)’ reflects some of the issues captured within this report.
