FOR CARDIFF

Cardiff Community Health Council (CHC) is a statutory organisation; the independent voice of the public and the consumers of health services. We monitor the quality of the NHS services provided in Cardiff. This is achieved by:

Regular service monitoring visits to hospitals and clinics
Surveys on patients views
Consulting the public on major changes in health services
Promoting the development of new services and ideas
Talking to and advising local NHS authorities on new services
Assisting people to make the best use of NHS services
Enabling local people’s views about health services to be heard - Have Your Say ; Public Reference Groups / Panels ; Junior CHC; Patient Stories
Assisting people who wish to complain about the services provided by the NHS locally and to support them through the NHS Complaints procedure
Promotional Activities - Advertising the CHC and the Advocacy Services
