PATIENTS in West Somerset have the chance to help shape the future of the NHS just filling out a survey.

West Somerset patient participation group, based in Williton, were asked by the NHS to encourage residents to engage with the survey from Change NHS, an initiative which aims to discover what issues people face with the service for the creation of a ten year health plan aimed at fixing them.

Elizabeth Grigg, chair of the West Somerset patient participation group, said: “It is vital for all of us to grasp this opportunity to express an opinion on how the NHS will evolve over the next ten years. Our opinions could make all the difference.”

Access to the survey can be found on the Change NHS website.
