Healthwatch Wirral CIC

The core purpose of Healthwatch Wirral is to be the consumer champion for health and care service users (through Section 221 activities set out in the 2007 Health Act). This involves patients, service users and the public in shaping local health and care services and raise awareness of their views and experiences in relation to those services amongst those in charge including commissioners and providers. Our vision is to ensure that the voice of the individual is heard and services are responsive to their needs; that everyone has the opportunity to have their say and understands how and when to access their local health and social care services. Full details of all of our activities and the benefits we have achieved for our communities are available on our website: www.healthwatchwirral.co.uk Healthwatch Wirral aims to operate with long-term financial stability, and we have generated a modest surplus in the financial year in question which will be held in our reserves to assist with service continuity in future years.
