I feel very sad that all of the changes to
the health system still focus on structures such as GP consortiums, new Health
and Wellbeing Boards, Healthwatch etc. Again we focus on delivery systems and
completely ignore the quality of service delivered to real people. Will another
Health and Wellbeing Board or community planning structure really improve the
quality or level of support available for communities really in need? Having
worked in this field for over 25 years, I always believed the changes would ultimately
improve the lives of people. To be honest, I am struggling this time to be so
optimistic.

By the time they want our services we will have disappeared
Making sense of the new order
Healthy Living Wessex is a not for profit social
enterprise originating from Big Lottery funded Healthy Living Centre Programme,
and encouraged by the Lottery and the public sector to become established. We
have survived 5 years post grant funding and are in the process of trying to
make sense of the new order so that we can adapt and make the most of promised
opportunities it may bring to benefit the community we serve.
