You can respond in two ways:
By completing the local survey here (even if you have already completed the national one)
By attending an engagement event to discuss the three shifts that the Government, health service, and experts agree need to happen. These shifts include moving care from hospitals to communities, making better use of technology, and preventing sickness, not just treating it.
These sessions are being held on:
Tuesday 28 January in Exeter Library
Thursday 30 January in Barnstaple Library
