🌟 Supporting Local Voices & Local Care 🌟
This week, Healthwatch West Sussex revealed how the voices of over 15,700 local people helped shape health and social care services across the county during 2024–25—including improvements in hospital transfers, community transport, and recovery care at home.
At the same time, West Sussex County Council is calling on the Government to exempt care providers—including homecare agencies—from rising National Insurance costs. Systemic pressures like rising wages and NI could threaten local care availability if left unaddressed
