What people want from the next ten years of the NHS

When the NHS Long Term Plan was published in January 2019 Healthwatch England were asked by NHS England to engage with people across the country to find out what the public thought the NHS should prioritise over the next decade.

Because the Healthwatch network engages with thousands of people across the country every year about their experiences and views of health and social care services, NHS England and NHS Improvement approached Healthwatch England to see if they could help draw out any insight that would help them.

Between March and June 2019 Healthwatch England heard from over 40,000 people, held over 500 focus groups and attended nearly 1,000 community events (including festivals, shopping centres, carers cafes and NHS services).

This is just the start of the NHS Long Term Plan...

Over the next decade it is vital that the NHS continues to work with local residents, assessing people’s experiences of care is the only way that services will know if the changes they implement are having the right impact and delivering the care people said they need.

Healthwatch has a vital role to play in this process and look forward to working with the NHS more in the coming months and years to help ensure that changes to services are always driven by the people who use them.
