Peoples Inquiry into London's NHS

The first meeting is now in SW London, and we are keen to get contributions which go beyond concerns over hospitals and A&E (although these are important).
If you could pass on our request for people to submit written evidence to
http://www.peoplesinquiry.org/contactus.php
or to come along to one of the local hearings that would be great. Or if there are specific people we should contact, we now have some organising support to do this.
The questions we would like people to address include:


 *   Concerns (or congratulations) over mental health services, both from NHS providers, contracted non-NHS providers and services delivered through social care
 *   Care of older people: is there any evidence of an "integrated" or "seamless" service? Are adequate resources available from social care? Are local people being genuinely consulted and their views taken on board?
 *   Activities and policies of local Health & Wellbeing Boards, public health initiatives and preventive health
 *   Development of Healthwatch local organisation and issues of adequate accountability and voice
 *   Concerns over uneven quality of primary care and out of hours services


People are welcome to give verbal evidence to any of the public hearings of the Inquiry, five of which are more local, and two in central London addressing mainly London-wide issues. They need to contact us in advance, so we can organise the agenda at: http://www.peoplesinquiry.org/contactus.php
