Local Healthwatch Secondary Legislation - Seeking your views on the issues
Local Healthwatch secondary legislation – seeking your views on the issues The background to regulations • The regulations for local Healthwatch are important, as they provide the detail that sits behind the Health and Social Care Act 2012. • In order to enable local Healthwatch to understand some of the “rules” for operating within the legal framework, we need to make sure that the regulations provide for this. How will the engagement process work? • We need to have a conversation with you, as Healthwatch stakeholders, to explain why we are making these regulations, and giving you the opportunity to identify, discuss and work through the issues you think are important to consider in developing the policy for this. • This will be conducted in two ways: • we will be holding focused meetings with groups that have particular expertise in certain areas; • we will also be giving the wider population the chance to join the dialogue online through a series of webchats. • The engagement period will run from mid-April to mid-June; the results of which will help to inform the policy, in turn influencing the regulations.
