Our Over to You report reviews what is important to you and the people of County Durham about health and care.
Hearing what people in County Durham think about the health and care services they use is an important part of the work we do here at Healthwatch.
We then use that information to decide which topics we are going to investigate further. This becomes part of our workplan for the coming year. When we spoke to people at the 14 events we attended this year, we asked them the following question about the current topics we are researching.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, were not able to get out and about to talk to people face-to-face about the things that were important to them in health and care services. This year, as things got back to normal and it was safer, we attended events around the county to meet up with the public to hear their views.
We attended 14 events from August to December 2022 and 165 people provided feedback to our questionnaire. This report summarises what we heard as well as highlighting some of the things you had concerns about.
At each event we gave people the opportunity to speak to us about any issues they had regarding services they accessed.
