NHS 10yr Plan Consultation

On 28th January, Healthwatch Hartlepool facilitated a workshop which gave the public the opportunity to take part in the biggest ever national conversation about the future of the NHS.

In November 2024, the government launched 'Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future', with the aim of getting as many people as possible involved in informing their 10 Year Health Plan for England.
Healthwatch Hartlepool hosted a discussion event: held in Greenbank Stranton Waldon Street, Hartlepool
A presentation to help attendees understand the proposed plan, including the three shifts outlined by the government, followed by an engaged discussion in which their feedback was recorded and submitted directly to the national Change NHS Portal.

We are proud of our team's efforts in helping the public contribute their experiences, and grateful to everyone who came along and had their say!

Big thank you to all those who took part – We really do appreciate your time.
