Healthwatch was set up in 2012 to speak up on behalf of patients in the NHS and Social Care, when necessary to improve services.

A few weeks ago, in July, the Government announced that a number of bodies were to be replaced or wound up. Healthwatch, set up by statute, was one of them.

Local resident Siobhain McCurrach is Healthwatch’s Hampshire Director and she spoke to Mike Waddington (who is also involved with Healthwatch).
