Talk to us........about the redesign
of Adult Mental Health Services
NHS Halton and St Helens and its main Mental Health Provider are planning a redesign of Adult Mental Health Services across Halton and St Helens.
As part of this process, Halton and St Helens VCA (Voluntary & Community Action) have been asked by the PCT to gather the views of the general public, mental health service users and their carers, on their expectations of adult mental health services and the plans to re-design these services.
Halton and St Helens VCA have produced a short survey to find out peoples thoughts about local mental health services.
If you would like to take part in this survey click here
If you are unable to access the online survey a paper copy can be obtained by calling Halton and St Helens VCA on 01928 592405.

Real Accountability
The aim of this document is to undertake our legal obligation to report on consultations carried out with regard to commissioning decisions and those we are looking to undertake in the next financial year.
This is the first year that NHS Halton & St Helens has pulled together a report containing easy to access information relating to consultations/engagement activity regarding its commissioning decisions and consultations/engagement carried out through out all sections of the NHS Halton & St Helens.
NHS Halton & St Helens Commissioners and commissioning teams have used a variety of consultation/engagement tools both independently and working in partnership with the Public Patient Involvement team and other partners/colleagues such as LINKs networks and our vibrant voluntary sector to continually inform the commissioning process.
