Healthwatch North Yorkshire Annual Report 2021/2022
Summary
A huge thank you to everyone who shared their views with us. Without your insight we wouldn’t have been able to make change happen and champion what matters to you.
Our relationships across health and social care have also been important to us and we have strived to continue building these across the system to ensure we play an instrumental role in bringing public insight and opinions to the forefront of decision-making.

Alongside this, I would like to thank all the people across North Yorkshire who have shared their health and social care experiences with us, for example over the phone, by email, via our website, at our outdoor events or by taking part in our surveys and focus groups.
