Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group has published Healthy Weston: why our local health services need to change.

Over the summer, doctors and local health leaders have continued their work considering what services the population in Weston and surrounding areas needs in the future and how they can best be delivered.

On 10 October, local doctors and health leaders set out how we are progressing plans to improve health and care services in Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding area to better meet the changing needs of our communities at several listening events with members of the public, stakeholders, and staff at Weston General Hospital.

We are inviting local people to join us on 22 November to share experiences of local health and care services.

Work is continuing to look at developing new ways of organising health and care services in Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding area. Services need to better meet people’s needs in the future and respond to the changing health and care needs of our communities.
