We have updated our priorities for 2024 -2025.
As the independent consumer champion of health and social care services in Hampshire, we look into services and hear from the people who use them.
We would like to thank everyone who takes the time to complete our surveys which help us to decide what we will concentrate on over the next 12 month period.
