Did you know that local Healthwatch organisations help make sure people's experiences of health and care are heard and acted upon?

In North Lincolnshire, we've worked with local communities to identify issues, influnence improvements and support people to access information about health and care services.

If you would like to see examples of what we are achieving please see our latest Annual Report:https://www.healthwatchnorthlincolnshire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/26-1a72543caa40a701621027f190b84838/2026/06/Annual-Report-2025-26-compressed.pdf

As Parliament debates the future of Healthwatch, we're proud of the difference local Healthwatch teams make every day.
