“We have valued the work of Healthwatch for its scrutiny and assessment of the Boroughs Health and Social Care provision. It has contributed to a process of continual reflection and improvement in overall wellbeing pre Covid. Covid recovery will present new challenges and we look forward to working with Healthwatch.”

Professor Stephen Broomhead, Chief Executive of Warrington Borough Council.

“What shines through is the passion that our local Healthwatch representatives, and those who participated in the workshops and survey, have for health and care in general and the NHS in particular. To be able to tap into this, and the ideas that people are brimming with, and the understandable concerns they still have, gives us an invaluable, comprehensive insight into how, together, we can continue to improve health and care in Cheshire and Merseyside over the next five years and beyond.”

Ruth Dale, Healthwatch Warrington HAB Chair commented:

“We achieved great success in all of our projects, but we are particularly proud of our work around the NHS Long Term plan. Collaborating with the other eight Cheshire and Mersey Healthwatch we achieved a substantial impact which was commended by Healthwatch England and Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership. Together 3,000 people’s views and experiences were recorded and specialised focus groups were arranged to capture the hard to reach sector of our society.

I would like to thank our dedicated staff who work collaboratively with our local partners to keep local people’s views at the forefront.”
