NAVCA is conducting a survey of the sector's involvement in health structures and in determining local health and social care priorities.
NAVCA would like to find out about organisations' experiences of how groups of people with different needs are represented, and the extent to which their views are taken into account by different health structures, including Clinical Commissioning Groups and local Healthwatch.
This information will form part of a report regarding representation of voluntary and community organisations and their beneficiaries on these health structures. This will be shared with the Department of Health, NHS England and the NHS Commissioning Board, as well as other Strategic Partners, NAVCA's members and the wider voluntary and community sector. This is to show what is working well, what challenges there are, and how this differs around the country.
NAVCA will make sure that you receive a copy of the report when it is produced, including data from survey responses and additional case studies around organisations' experiences. It is aimed to have this completed by the end of December.
To complete the survey, visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/equalityhealth, by 21 November 2013.
