News and reports

Following the events in the US and news here about the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had on people from Black, Asian, and Ethnic Minority communities, our Healthwatch England National Director, Imelda Redmond has responded.

Health and Social Care services in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight have had to change the support they offer during the coronavirus pandemic.

Healthwatch Hampshire is about local voices influencing and shaping local health and social care services. To listen to people’s views and experiences about local services and use those views to put recommendations forward to help improve services.

Healthwatch Hampshire was approached by Hampshire County Council’s Adults’ Health and Care to undertake a review of Care Homes across Hampshire, that have been rated by Care Quality Commission (CQC) as ‘Outstanding’.

The helpline is available to provide information and advice, as well as practical support to frail or vulnerable Hampshire residents.
