Answer
The Regional Outcomes Report of the 10,000 Voices project, published by the Public Health Agency in October 2014 clearly highlights that it provides a valuable forum for service users to inform us of how we are delivering and how we should deliver health and social care services.
Information from patient’s stories has already been used to inform a range of local and regional service improvements. By using this information to shape how we deliver services we can be assured that improvements will be based on information which really matters to people.
The Public Health Agency have advised that the 10,000 Voices project will be continued in 2015/16 subject to funding. The work plan for 2015/16 is currently being negotiated and will be available at the end of March 2015.
