Leader of Healthwatch Redbridge responds to news of possible closure

Gita Malhotra, chair of Healthwatch Redbridge, has issued a statement following news that the government’s 10-year health plan may see the closure of all Healthwatch organisations.

“For over a decade, we have challenged poor practice and held services to account when they fail local people… The way this decision and news has been handled is in stark contrast to the government’s avowed commitment to person-centred care and wellbeing… We wait to hear the full implications of these changes.” Visit wnstd.com/hwr
