You told us: April - June 2026

Report - 29 July 2026

From April to June 2026 we reviewed the feedback gathered from individuals across County Durham to identify key trends in health and social care. These shared experiences not only help shape our future engagement priorities but also enable us to pinpoint concerns that may require direct escalation to service providers.

In this report  we look at which services we've received the most feedback on in this period plus we have case studies on breast cancer care and our word on the street series hears about concerns at a GP practice following a CQC inspection.
