07/07/17 – Update on discussion events:
We will be extending all consultation discussion events by half an hour, following feedback that we have received from the public. This is because it’s really important that we hear from you and you have an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
Due to personal commitments and/or travel arrangements, we appreciate that you may still wish to leave after two hours. We would like to reassure you that this isn’t a problem. We have extended these sessions to give you as much time as possible for discussion around the different healthcare service proposals.
Extended event times are confirmed in the table below.
