Community Health Services feedback from across Warwickshire

Report - 23 September 2025

In a bid to improve the health of the nation, the government produced a 10 Year Health Plan to reform the health system. This includes providing care and support closer to where people live, hopefully reducing the need for hospitalisation.

The latest guidance envisages that "integrated neighbourhood teams will be responsible for the health of their local population, working with people, communities and partners to deliver joined-up, proactive and personalised care.“

Health and care providers across Warwickshire are now working together to develop a plan for providing support and care closer to where people live, aiming to ensure that local needs are at the heart of their decisions and plans.

Healthwatch Warwickshire listened to people across the county, to find out:

•Do health and care providers need to consider delivering things differently to help and support people across the different parts of Warwickshire in the ways they need?

 

•Should care be delivered closer to the places people call home to help keep them well and, where possible, out of hospital?

 

•Do health, care, and community & voluntary organisations work well together?

We got 262 responses to our survey from across the region, between June and August 2025. We spoke with people in person, at community events and in healthcare settings, and received survey responses digitally via the HWW website.

The findings from this report will help the NHS in Warwickshire, and Warwickshire County Council, to plan and organise the Community Integrator contract, ensuring it supports the creation and smooth operation of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams.

Healthwatch Warwickshire staff will be sharing findings specific to South Warwickshire, Rugby, and Warwickshire North, in Place Based Workshops in the following few weeks.
