SHARE THE POWER:
National Voices launches pre-election campaign
(11/03/10)

Health and social care are entering a period of political uncertainty and belt tightening. The risks to quality, safety and person-focus are clear.  If change is to be managed successfully, more power needs to be shared with patients and families.  National Voices is calling for:

  • Involving people earlier in decisions about service change and giving them a real say
  • Making it much easier for people to voice concern and give feedback
  • Tackling the continuing culture of medical paternalism

See our briefing paper and press release reporting our new opinion poll for more detail.  We will be working with Government, politicians, the NHS, regulators and the professions to seek these changes.   Contact us if you would like to support our campaign.
