Analysis of Continence Service in Teesside - September 2017

Report - 26 September 2017

Healthwatch works closely with both the voluntary and public sectors to assist in the delivery of its statutory activities and priorities.

Through engagement with the LiveWell Dementia Hub and Stockton Dementia Advocacy Service, and individuals who use the service in Stockton, it was brought to the attention of Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees that the continence service provision is not meeting the needs of service users.

Local Authority representatives told Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees that they also felt that information gathered could inform change as issues about the service provision are frequently brought to their attention.
