Drop-in sessions – changes to hospital and community services in Huddersfield (various dates)
A series of drop-in sessions are being staged across Calderdale and Greater Huddersfield over the coming three months. These will help people get more information about the Calderdale and Huddersfield Health and Social Care Strategic Review and provide an opportunity for people to take part in the public discussion about the future of local health and social care services.
This is part of a comprehensive engagement process with a wide range of stakeholders – including patients, staff and local people – to help options for full public consultation in mid to late summer of this year.
A range of health and social care professionals will be on hand and people are welcome to drop-in for a tea or coffee and a chat anytime during those hours.
