Residents are being urged to have their say on the future of healthcare in Gedling borough by taking part in a new survey.
Gedling Borough Council’s Health and Wellbeing Board Representative Henry Wheeler says the survey will help shape the future Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy between 2022-2026.
The Health and Wellbeing Strategy is also seeking the views of Children and Young People.
The opportunity to take part in these two Survey’s closes this Wednesday (December 22).
Councillor Henry Wheeler said: “This is a very important strategy that will shape the future of Health and Wellbeing services in Gedling.”
“That’s why I was disappointed that on the 22nd November between 3.45 pm and 4.45 pm a Road Show Event was held in Gedling at a time that most of the working public couldn’t attend.”
“I raised this concern with Public Health Officials that the time of the Road Show would mean people wouldn’t be able to attend.”
“If you are to get a reflective inclusive response on important health and well-being issues then the Road Show should have been arranged at a time that was more accessible.”
“Also not everyone can access online surveys.”
“However it’s not too late to have your say.”
“I urge residents including children and young people who can access these important online consultations to take part, if possible before the closing date on Wednesday 22nd December.
Just found out about this survey, after the closing date. It has not been well publicised, and will not be representative.
