The Health Board believes that the public and patients have an important voice that should be heard. The Health Board includes the public and patients in its decision making wherever possible.
All formal public consultations will be advertised in the local press, with posters and information leaflets also issued to local premises such as hospitals, GP and dental surgeries, libraries and post offices. Consultations are usually for a period of at least twelve weeks and all comments received during the consultation period will be considered by the Health Board.
At the conclusion of a public consultation, a report on the outcome of the consultation and responses will be submitted to the Board, together with a recommendation on the required action arising from the consultation. All current and previous consultations are available on our website: Follow this link to our Public Engagement and Consultation site
