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.
It’s vital we know what it’s really like for people living in our county when they use local services, from GP surgeries, hospitals and dentists to social care, community support or any other professional who helps with health or care.
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
