HealthWatch is a new independent consumer champion created to gather and represent the views of the public on Health and Social Care Services. It will launch in April 2013 and take on the work of Local Involvement Networks.
It will play a role at both national and local level and will make sure that the views of the public and people who use services are taken into account.
