Solihull and Birmingham Urgent Care Unit & GP Out Of Hours changes.
Between 5th Feb-16th April there was a public consultation about the changes to the Solihull UTC and Out Of Hours GP service.
Only 377 Solihull residents out of over 221,000 took part in the survey.
Cllr Collette Brown asked NHS England in a council meeting last week why so few took part in a topic that is extremely important to Solihull residents. Cllr Brown wasn't aware this consultation was taking place before she was asked to join a meeting and speaking to many residents they were not aware of the consultation either.
Cllr Brown put it to the board, along other Cllrs that the marketing and access to the consultation was inadequate and didn't reach YOU, the residents who should have been given a chance to voice you opinion!
It would be really appreciated it if you could comment yes or no if you were aware of the consultation so Cllr Brown can feed this back into the next meeting.
Thank you to everyone who took part in our public consultation on the future of community urgent care services in Birmingham and Solihull.
