Healthwatch England: the way forward
When Healthwatch launched their Annual Report in October 2013, they started a conversation with the public, their partners and stakeholders about the rights framework.
Healthwatch know there are a number of frameworks already out there, including the NHS constitution, the Think Local Act Personal framework for care and the CQC's fundamental standards. Healthwatch will be working with stakeholders to bring these approaches together to establish a greater awareness of rights and would welcome your views about how they do this.
