NHS calls for people in Crawley to talk about health services

‘Let’s Talk Crawley’ aims to encourage people to have their say on how health services are currently working in the town and how they can be further improved.

Running for five weeks, the NHS wants to hear about what is good about local health and care services, where people may have challenges getting the help they need, and how services can be developed to make sure everyone is able to receive high quality healthcare.
