What are your views?
Have you completed our COVID-19 survey yet? Here's another snapshot of responses. Question 4 asks "All face-to-face social groups and community activities have been cancelled. Has this affected you?" So far, 73% of respondents answered 'Yes' and 27% answered 'No'. Let us know how you have been affected by completing the survey at www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/covid-19-survey Please pass on the link to your friends and family. We know that discussions are starting about what the future 'normal' might look like. How many of the enforced changes to services will be kept in the future? Tell us your views about what you would like to see. The more voices we hear, the stronger our message to commissioners and providers of services can be. Please get in touch on 0161 667 2526 or email info@healthwatchtameside.co.uk with contact address details, if you would like us to post a paper copy to someone, with a FREEPOST envelope for return of the completed survey. Thank you.
