I wanted to share with the feedback we have received from our recent BIG conversation with the local people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The BIG conversation was launched on 27 September and ran until 20 December 2019. It was designed to help the CCG better understand what matters most to the local community when it comes to healthcare services, as well as asking for their views, ideas and feedback from the community and clinicians about healthcare services in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
For the first time ever, we went out to ask for people’s views before making any specific decisions, making the BIG conversation an important engagement activity (but not a formal consultation). We now have a far clearer view of what matters most to local people when it comes to the provision of their healthcare services, which will help to inform our commissioning decisions in the future.
In total, we received almost 6,000 responses with a wealth of feedback and comments from all over our area that we wanted to share with you. We have enclosed a summary of the feedback we received, and if you would like to find out more the full feedback report can be found on our website here: bit.ly/NHSBigConversation
The feedback we received will create a framework that our Governing Body Members (who ultimately sign off any big decisions at the CCG) and our teams can work from when developing future healthcare solutions. However, it’s important to note that this wasn’t a formal consultation, so we won’t be making any big changes without speaking to you again about our proposals.
I hope you find this of interest and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely
