Detail of feedback received

The Department of Health and Social Care is grateful for stakeholders’ engagement on this topic.

The consultation received 3,338 responses. Of these:

  • 3,113 were from individuals sharing their personal views
  • 125 were from individuals sharing their professional views
  • 53 were from individuals responding on behalf of someone else
  • 47 were from organisations

Most organisations that responded were from the voluntary or third sector. We also received responses from organisations in the public and private sectors, as well as other professional bodies and organisations.

Due to the high number of respondents and the high number of qualitative questions in the consultation, it is taking longer than expected to analyse all the feedback.

We will publish the government response as soon as possible. The final delivery plan will be published in due course after the consultation response.
