Healthwatch West Sussex are touring the county with the aim of bringing about change by listening and responding to people’s concerns and working in partnership with local health and care organisations. The tour has started in East Grinstead with surveys taking place throughout September at ten venues in the town.

Town Mayor Cllr Bob Mainstone and Mayoress Cllr Christine Mainstone helped launch the first survey which took place in the High Street on Saturday 10 September. Many residents stopped to give their opinions about the health service.

Bob explained, “This was a very friendly way of finding out people’s views about one of the most important services we all rely on. The Healthwatch staff and volunteers really were motivated to collect as many views as possible. Once they have completed their tour of East Grinstead the Town Council will be interested to see the results.”
