Between August and October 2024, Healthwatch Lancashire conducted engagement for the Disability Voices project, exploring the health and social care experiences of disabled people in our county.
The project followed a recent study of the same name by Healthwatch Cumberland and Healthwatch Westmorland and Furness, which found that access to health services and good healthcare was the biggest concern for disabled people in the region, and the area that they would like to see the most change.
Building on these findings, we sought to hear from disabled people in Lancashire about their experiences accessing and using health and social care services. Central to this project is our conviction that it is important to listen to disabled people to understand how services are working for them, and that their experiences must influence and shape efforts to improve those services.
