H&F GP Access Over The Course of The Pandemic

As we know, there was a requirement to put social distancing in place in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and GP surgeries across the country were urged to undertake consultations with those exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 remotely.

With this in mind, we are looking to gain insight into your experience and get your views on the impact of accessing health and social care services remotely. That includes digitally or by telephone, focusing on access to GP services.

We will share your anonymous feedback with providers and commissioners such as the local CCG, and with Hammersmith and Fulham Council, This will help them to ensure that the services respond to what people need locally.

If you would like any assistance in completing the survey or would like it in another format, please contact us at info@healthwatchhf.co.uk. or call us on 0203 886 0386.

All responses are anonymous. Thank you for your contribution. The closing date for this survey is Monday 12th October, 2020.

Help Shine a Light on Charities & COVID19

In May and June 2020, Pro Bono Economics ran a weekly survey which helped shine a light on the pressures that COVID-19 has placed on the charity sector – finding that charities are facing a £10.1 billion funding gap over the next six months.

A new survey is now open to update the data, running until Friday 7 August, with analysis and results due in September. This will be critical to make the case to government about the importance of charity services now and in the future – especially as we approach the conclusion of the Spending Review and the run up to the Budget.

Have you Accessed Government Support?

Government announced £750m in funding for charities nearly a month ago. We finally heard some more over the weekend when Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick MP announced that £76m of this funding will be allocated to support vulnerable children and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, but nothing about which charities will receive this support.

Details for distribution of most of the rest of the funding remain unclear. As part of the #NeverMoreNeeded campaign to increase the support available to charities, we want you to tell us how helpful and accessible the support that’s currently available has been – including the support provided to business which charities can access.

Just answer some quick questions in our short survey, and tell us about how your organisation is being affected by the current crisis.
