A group of residents living in North East Lincolnshire have been invited to tell the Government about their experiences of receiving adult social care services.
Part of an annual survey, around 1,000 residents have been selected, based on specific eligibility criteria, to help the Department of Health and Social Care to shape Government policy.
The survey is distributed to a small number of people in our area that receive community-based social care services, including residential and nursing care.
The short questionnaire is sent to eligible residents in January and February, and includes an reply-paid envelope to return it to the NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).
The survey, which will be posted to residents, asks them about their quality of life, the impact of services on their quality of life, and their general health and wellbeing.
Councillor Stan Shreeve, deputy leader of North East Lincolnshire Council and portfolio holder for health, wellbeing and adult social care, said:
“This is something that all Councils in England are required to support every year, and it’s really important that residents who are chosen to be involved give their feedback.
“The responses help Government to shape future policy, and ultimately to improve care and services for local residents.
“I’d encourage anyone who receives the survey from the Department of Health and Social Care to fill it in and return it. Your views really do help.”
Not everyone who receives adult social care support, or who accesses adult social care services in the community, will receive a survey, so it’s important that those who do receive one complete it and return it.
If you receive a questionnaire and have any queries, please contact the Adult Social Care Team at: [email protected].
