Healthwatch Appeal<br />
Are you worried about how to access your GP? How easy<br />
is it to get an appointment? Has your interaction with<br />
primary care changed because of the pandemic? If you<br />
want to share your views on the above questions, then<br />
Healthwatch <strong>Wigan</strong> and Leigh want to hear from you.<br />
The purpose of Healthwatch <strong>Wigan</strong> and Leigh is to<br />
represent local people who use health and social care<br />
services, and to make sure that those running services<br />
put people at the heart of care. They seek to understand<br />
the needs, experiences and concerns of people who use<br />
local health and social care services.<br />
All the information you provide will be heard<br />
confidentially and recorded anonymously to contribute<br />
to a report published later in the year. Here’s how you can<br />
contribute to that report:<br />
Contact Lisa Armstrong on 01942 834666 or text ‘GP’<br />
to this number 07939 061 872 and someone will call<br />
you back, or you can email Lisa at Lisa.Armstrong@<br />
healthwatchwiganandleigh.co.uk or alternately you can<br />
complete a short survey online at www.surveymonkey.<br />
