PEOPLE from Mid Devon are being invited to hear proposals for the future of community health services at a series of public meetings and drop-in sessions across the county.

Mid Devon’s doctors and healthcare managers will be on hand to talk about what they heard during a series of engagement events over the past 12 months with local people and organisations.

The Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will publish its commissioning intentions for community services in Devon on 17 September.

These include the proposals for community hospitals, health and social care hubs, urgent care services in the community, stroke services, physiotherapy, community nursing, chiropody, leg ulcer clubs and more.

The CCG plans to involve and engage with local people and organisations from this date.

The health and wellbeing scrutiny committees in Devon and Plymouth will also be kept up to date throughout to ensure the process for involving local people in these important proposals is fully scrutinised. This includes opportunities for each of the committees to examine the proposals.

At the events people will also have an opportunity to discuss and comment on the proposals.
