Grantham: Tell Healthwatch Lincolnshire about your most recent health or social care experience
A major new study by Healthwatch Lincolnshire will measure how health and social care is working in the county ahead of changes to the way health and care is managed and provided.
The survey gives everyone in the county the chance to share their latest health and social care experiences to create a picture of the state of health and social care in Lincolnshire.
The timing couldn’t be better for public voice to have real impact with significant changes on the way. This involves national and local changes to the NHS and proposed changes to local councils. This is in addition to the plans being driven by the government’s Department of Health and Social Care and the recent release of the 10-Year Health Plan.
Healthwatch Lincolnshire will also use these results to see what’s working well and where improvements are needed to influence those who plan, deliver and monitor services across Lincolnshire, including the NHS, local councils and care providers. Main survey link
The survey covers:
Your most recent experience of health services
Your most recent experience of care services
GP (general practice) services
Pharmacy services
Dental services
Community health services – including community nursing, occupational and physiotherapy, Lincolnshire Stroke Service, and palliative end-of-life care
Hospital services – including planned, inpatient and emergency care
Mental health services
Social care – including home care, care homes, children’s services, Lincolnshire Carers Service, home adaptations and equipment for independence

Hampshire: Hampshire County Council - Your Hampshire The Latest from your County Council
The Government is consulting on plans to simplify local government in Hampshire and the Solent area, by replacing the current two-tier system with fewer, new single-tier unitary councils.
Included in Government’s consultation is our proposal, developed in partnership with East Hampshire District Council, to create four new unitary councils in our area (three on the Hampshire mainland and a stand-alone unitary council on the Isle of Wight), to replace the current mix of 15 county, district and unitary councils that serve Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
Hampshire County Council’s proposal is one option presented for consideration in the consultation. Other councils in the area have put forward their ideas for local government reorganization too, in the form of five new unitary councils, which are also included in the consultation.
To find out more about all the proposals in the Government’s consultation, visit the Government's consultation web pages.
A hard copy of the Government’s consultation document and the proposals will also be available for view at each of the County Council’s 40 libraries from next week.
