Your healthcare & the
NHS
You have the right to be involved in
discussions and decisions about your healthcare, and to be given
information to enable you to do this.
You have the right to be involved, directly or
through representatives, in the planning of healthcare services,
the development and consideration of proposals for changes in the
way those services are provided, and in decisions to be made
affecting the operation of those services.
The NHS also commits:
- to provide you with the information you need to influence and
scrutinise the planning and delivery of NHS services (pledge);
and
- to work in partnership with you, your family, carers and
representatives (pledge).
