Help improve health and wellbeing in Herefordshire

Dear residents

Herefordshire Council would like to hear from you about how we can improve health and wellbeing in Herefordshire.

We are working with health services and other organisations to develop a strategy and actions to improve health and wellbeing in the county over the next 10 years, and we are asking residents for their views about the things that they think are most important.

From information already available we have identified a number of issues that are most affecting the health and wellbeing of residents in our county and from these we have suggested some potential priorities for action, or for additional action where there is already work being done.

But we really want to know what your views are and about the things that you think we should be doing. 

Feedback from this consultation will be available to view early in 2023 and it will help decide the priorities and content of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy which is due to be published in the Spring of 2023.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and we would greatly appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes to complete our survey which you will find by clicking the link below.

For more information and to share your views and ideas, see: www.herefordshire.gov.uk/hwbs

Your Heath, Your Say!

“My Health, My say” gives you the chance to talk about your Health and wellbeing.
The people that run the Health and Wellbeing services where you live want to find out
what you think.
You can tell them,
the good bits
and the bad bits.
They will listen to what you say.
They will act on what you tell them.
Then they will tell you what they have done.
They will keep your identity private.
