Have your say on plans to change support for pre-school families (Ilkeston Library drop-in)

Derbyshire County Council and Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS) are jointly running the consultation on proposals to transform health visiting services.

In Derbyshire, the service is commissioned by the county council as part of the 0 – 19 Public Health Nursing Service and is delivered by DCHS.

The consultation – which runs until 29th September – is the second phase of a review looking at how services could be delivered more effectively to ensure they remain sustainable and finite resources are targeted at families who need the most support.

A series of drop-in events are being held for anyone to go along and provide feedback on the proposals.  A session in Ilkeston will be held at the Library just off the Market Place on Wednesday 18th September from 10:00am to 12noon.

Members of the public are encouraged to give their views about six proposals to change the way health visiting services are delivered. They can do this by filling in an online questionnaire at Proposed changes to health visiting services - Derbyshire County Council

Papers copies of the questionnaire are also available on request by emailing asch.publichealth.commissioning @ derbyshire.gov.uk

Two online events will be held via Microsoft Teams for anyone to attend a series of drop-in events - one on Tuesday 17th September 2024 from 1pm to 2pm and another on Thursday 26th September 2024 from 4pm to 5pm

To book a place email asch.publichealth.commissioning @ derbyshire.gov.uk to receive an email link to attend.
