There’s still time to have your say on the Somerset Fit for My Future consultation and engagement programmes which run until 12 April 2020.
A public consultation on proposals to relocate the mental health beds for adults of working age from Wells to Yeovil has been running since 17 January 2020. An engagement programme on early thinking about improvements to community health and care services has been running since 30 January 2020.
Dr Alex Murray, Clinical Director, Fit for My Future, said: “We have been out and about across Somerset over the past two months hearing from as many people as possible about our proposals and early thinking. We are delighted that so many people have joined us at our events and taken the time to give us their views.
“Following yesterday’s last Government advice on coronavirus (COVID-19) we have sadly had to cancel all our remaining scheduled public-facing events and activities. This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of people in Somerset and to make sure that we aren’t bringing people together unnecessarily.
“There are still lots of ways that people can have their say about our proposals and early thinking. You can visit our website at www.fitformyfuture.org.uk and complete the questionnaires online or download a word version. You can write to us, ring us or email us. We will also be holding more Facebook Live sessions over the next few weeks and will be advertising these on social media and in community pages and groups on Facebook.
“Hearing from people in Somerset remains a priority for us and there are plenty of ways to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from even more people.”
