NHS long term plan engagement report

Report - 12 July 2019

Feedback from patients and the public across Cornwall and Isles of Scilly on the NHS long term plan.

Summary

With growing pressure on the NHS – people living longer, more people living with long-term conditions, and lifestyle choices affecting people’s health – changes are needed to make sure everybody gets the support they need.

The NHS has produced a ten-year plan, setting out all of the things it wants health services to do better for people across the country. Our local NHS asked us to find out what areas of health and social care mattered most to the people of Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. This report publishes our findings.
