Aylesbury MP Laura Kyrke-Smith is encouraging residents to share their experiences of the NHS and ideas to "help fix our health service" following the launch of a major public consultation.
The biggest national conversation about the future of the NHS since its birth has been launched today (Monday 21 October), as the entire country is called upon to share their experiences of our health service and help shape the government's 10 Year Health Plan.
Members of the public, as well as NHS staff and experts are welcome to share their experiences, views and ideas for fixing the NHS via the online platform, change.nhs.uk, which will be live until the start of next year, and available via the NHS App.
Kyrke-Smith, who has recently taken on a leading role in driving forward NHS reform, said it was vital that the experience of Aylesbury constituency residents inform and shape the government's 10 Year Health Plan, which will be published next Spring.
The MP said, "Whether you use the NHS or work in it, you see first-hand what's great, but also what isn't working. We need your ideas to help turn the NHS around across Aylesbury and the villages.
"I know the NHS locally is not delivering as it should for patients and NHS staff alike: from the GPs surgeries struggling to deal with demand for appointments, to those patients waiting for operations.
"That's why I urge everyone to go to change.nhs.uk today and help us build a health service fit for the future."
