We respond to The Care Quality Commission's (CQC) annual analysis of the quality of health and adult social care in England for 2017/18.
The State of Care report looks at the trends, highlights examples of good and outstanding care, and identifies factors that maintain high-quality care.
The Healthwatch network came together to recognise some of the fantastic work of local community champions helping to improve the country’s hospitals, GPs and care services.
Our briefing published today brings together the views and experiences of 5,447 carers from over 27 communities across England. Take a look to see what people told Healthwatch about their experiences.
The Local Government Association has issued an alternative Social Care Green Paper and consultation to encourage people and organisations from across society to share their views on what the future of social care should look like.
In the 70th year of the NHS, Healthwatch is turning its attention to the future, asking the public some big questions about what they want health and care in England to look like.
Last year, local Healthwatch identified social care as one of the key priority areas for their communities in the year ahead. Here we share an overview on what people have told us they want from social care in the future.
