Impact & Performance Report: January - March 2023 (Q4)
At a Glance
Looking at NHS dentistry
People continue to contact us for help in finding an NHS dentist which mirrors the national picture. On 25th April, Chris McCann from the Healthwatch England leadership team gave evidence to MP’s and stated that Dentistry access made up around 20% of all feedback shared with Healthwatch across England, compared to 5%, pre-pandemic. She stated that the NHS dental crisis was also a social justice issue, exacerbating inequalities.
Working with people and communities
Our Community Partnership Lead has joined numerous webinars with the Local Community Networks across West Sussex. Local Community Networks (LCN’s) are multi-agency partnerships covering each district and borough area. They focus on tackling local health inequality priorities such as access to primary care, cancer screening, young people’s mental health and the current cost of living crisis.
Providing valuable information
We have used feedback to better understand the challenges facing the NHS and other care providers in West Sussex, to assist in making sure these experiences improve health and care services for everyone. We have shared information to help people make the right decisions for and to get the support they need.
