MEMBERS of the public are being offered a chance to get involved in deciding how health and care services in the area are provided in the future.
Bay Health and Care Partners, which is a group of local NHS organisations and councils, is looking for people to join a Public Assembly - a group of people who will be asked for their views on health and care issues.
More than 300 people have already signed up to become members of the assembly, and the first meeting in the South Lakeland area will be held at 5.30pm on Wednesday, September 11 at the Assembly Room at Kendal Town Hall.
At the meetings there will be discussions on the challenges facing health and care services in our local area.
If you want to join and attend one of the meetings, please register at www.bettercaretogther.co.uk/assembly.
