Download (PDF 448.1 KB)Summary of report content
This report was written by Healthwatch Bolton as part of a wider engagement project on neighbourhood assets. A discussion group was held to ask Crompton and Halliwell people what they thought about their local assets.
The report was published December, 2017. It is based on discussions with local people. A total of 41 people were engaged with.
Overall sentiment was mixed. A number of assets were identified as existing locally, this is a platform on which healthier lives can be led. On the other hand people identified a range of challenges such as a lack of investment and a wish for better information and involvement in local decisions.
While recommendations are not made a set of conclusions is given. No response from providers is attached, though this project does not engage with a single provider of services.
Summary of conclusions:
- Awareness of existing assets
- Want the local area to receive attention relevant to them
- Desire for greater communication from services
- Increased understanding of new primary care roles being suggested
