Information and Signposting

This month we heard:

  • From people looking for advice on how to access counselling or talking therapies.
  • GP Services were the most common theme for enquiries this month. We heard from a number of people struggling with accessing GP appointments and experience long wait times on the phone.
  • From people looking for information and advice on making a complaint about hospital services.

Tell us your experiences

You can leave a review of health and care services in East Sussex each and every time you use them via our Feedback Centre. This only takes a few minutes and helps commissioners, providers and Healthwatch understand how services are performing.

The Healthwatch East Sussex Information and Signposting (I&S) Service helps people to access the right health or social care service or organisation for their needs. In addition, the I&S service also enables people to share their experience or make a complaint about services they have used.
