Consultation on the creation of a new NHS Online - our response
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England (NHSE) are working to establish a new online service – ‘NHS Online’ - which will deliver online elective care as part of the NHS. When the establishment of any NHS Trust is being considered, there is a duty on the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to first consult with the relevant local Healthwatch.
This is the response from Healthwatch Brighton and Hove to the consultation which is based on our extensive engagement with local people on the use of digital and remote appointments in the health care settings.
