NHS Long Term Plan: The views of Dorset residents

People in Dorset have shared their views on how to improve NHS health services in the county.

More than 300 residents, patients and their families took part in What Would You do? activities, which launched in April to encourage people in the county to share their views about how extra money from the Government should be spent on local NHS services.

The public were asked to give their views about how local services could improve, and to share ideas about the NHS can help people live healthier lives and take more control of their care.

Summary of findings

Quicker and easier access to GPs; speedier diagnosis and treatment options; annual health checks and more regular support for those with long-term conditions, were the top four things people in Dorset would like to see implemented.
