Consultation Event: Monday 5th December 2016

Regional efforts

The region-wide consultation is being led by Commissioners Working Together, an alliance supported by Clinical Commissioning Groups across South Yorkshire, Mid Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire. Healthwatch Doncaster have agreed to independently Chair the local consultation events so that everyone has an opportunity to engage in discussions about the proposed changes and developments.

Healthwatch Doncaster are working closely with NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to ensure that members of the public and organisations with an interest in health and wellbeing in Doncaster engage in this consultation.

Healthwatch Doncaster want to ensure that you feel engaged and informed about the changes and that your views and opinions can influence the proposed service development and outcomes.
