Detail of outcome

Thank you to everyone who read our survey.

We know that the general election might have made it difficult for you to say everything you wanted. We also know that you might not have heard about our survey in time to answer. Because of this, we have closed the survey.

But, if you answered our questions, we will read them and we will listen to your ideas. We will also be asking for more ideas when we do another survey. You can answer this new survey as well if you want to.

You can give your ideas about the NHS at Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future.

Consultation description

The NHS is made up of lots of different services.  Things like:

  • hospitals
  • local doctors
  • nurses who visit you at home
  • dentists
  • pharmacies
  • mental health services and hospitals

The NHS Constitution is a very important book.  It tells us about:

  • the rules and laws that the NHS has to follow
  • what promises the NHS makes to patients and staff
  • what your rights are when you use NHS services

We have had a look at the NHS Constitution. There are some things we think we need to change or add in. This survey tells you about some ideas for changes we want to make.

Please read our survey and answer our questions. Follow the ‘Respond online’ link in the ‘Ways to respond’ box below to tell us your ideas.
