Colleagues now have until tomorrow (Friday 24 June) at 5pm to fill in the survey online.

A technical hitch an hour before the deadline on Tuesday night meant people may not have been able to access it hence the extension to tomorrow to ensure everyone who wants to can share their views.

No final decision will be made until the CCGs have concluded consultation and have properly considered the information gathered. During that time they will work within the Joint Overview and Scrutiny arrangements to make sure they have satisfied their requirements and enabled them fulfil their duties. Our Trust has fed into them our views on the key issues needing further work going forward.

The earliest point a decision might be available will be October.

Disposing of paper surveys, leaflets and other consultation documents

The communications team have removed as many of the above as possible from public spaces and key areas across the Trust.

We know that a number went to each ward and some to community sites.

We'd ask that these are kindly recycled as people can no longer send in their views on the paper survey.

Many thanks for your support
