Healthwatch Darlington want to gather as much feedback as possible around health and social care services in the Borough of Darlington.
We share the national Healthwatch concern that people are avoiding getting prescription medicines, booking NHS appointments, and travelling to their appointments because of the extra costs. Two thirds of those who took part in our survey said their mental health had worsened because of the impact of the rising cost of living.
We are pleased to present our Healthwatch Darlington Annual Report for 2022/23. Together we're making health and social care better.
The Accessible Information Standard gives disabled people and people with a sensory loss the legal right to get health and social care information they can understand and communications support if they need it. But, is the standard being delivered by services and does it go far enough?
We are here to make sure that those running services, and the government, put your views at the heart of care.
Healthwatch acts as the collective voice of the public when it comes to health and social care.
Which is why it's important for you to tell us about your experiences and opinions.
