Tell us how you want to share your feedback about health and social care services

News - 13 July 2026

The government has announced plans to abolish Healthwatch in 2027. Healthwatch gathers important feedback from patients and the public about health and social care and is independent from the NHS and local councils who provide these services.

These plans may change how patients and the public can share feedback and experiences. In the future, it may mean you would only be able to share your feedback with health and social services themselves, or the organisations who run them.

This five-minute survey is an opportunity to have your say on how you would like to share your experiences of local health and care services.

Have your say via this survey

We will share what we hear with those responsible for deciding the future model of gathering and using patient feedback. Please let us know:

  • Who you would like to share feedback with on health and care
  • How you would like to give feedback in the future
  • What is important to you in how your feedback is gathered and used.

This survey closes at 11.59pm on Monday 17th August 2026.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact: office@hwbh.co.uk 

All responses are treated in the strictest confidence. For details of our privacy policy, please click here.
