@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialA recent independent Leeds review found that trust and independence go hand in hand. As MPs consider the Health Bill today, we hope they will reflect on the importance of maintaining trusted, independent routes for people to share their experiences. #HealthBill #Leeds #IndependentVoice
@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialAs the Health Bill reaches its Third Reading today, we believe independent voice should be strengthened, not removed. #HealthBill #Leeds #IndependentVoice
@spinalinjuries.bsky.social🗣️ "The care and access to support for patients dependent on specialist services should not depend on where those patients live".
Listen to @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social, Chair of @sciappg.bsky.social, speaking about the impact of the #HealthBill on #spinalcordinjury services
@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialToday the Health Bill reaches its Third Reading.
Trust cannot be transferred through legislation. It is built over years through independent engagement with communities.
That is why independent voice matters.
@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialIndependent voice helps reach people who don't always engage through traditional channels.
@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialLast year, many people shared their experiences with Healthwatch Leeds, helping improve services including mental health crisis support, neighbourhood health and accessibility. Independent voice isn't just a structure. It's how people influence change. #HealthBill #Leeds #IndependentVoice
@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialPeople speak openly because they know Healthwatch Leeds is independent of providers, commissioners and government. Trust isn't something that can simply be transferred through legislation. #HealthBill #Leeds #IndependentVoice
@healthwatchleeds.bsky.social“Healthwatch have been a constant, positive partner in the Integrated Care System, bringing patient and public voice into all our decision making fora.”

@healthwatchleeds.bsky.socialHealthwatch Leeds carried out 11 Enter and View visits to health and care services last year.
