Government Plans for Healthwatch England and Local Healthwatch
Significant changes are on the horizon for Healthwatch England and the local Healthwatch network following a recent government announcement.
We are aware of the Government’s announcement to abolish Healthwatch England and the local Healthwatch network. We are currently awaiting the publication of the Dash Review alongside the NHS 10 Year Plan, expected on 4 July 2025, which will provide further details on these planned changes.
During this period of uncertainty, we remain committed to supporting our communities and continuing to listen to and amplify their voices on health and social care.
We will update the public as soon as more information becomes available.
