Champions of Change (Mental Health), alongside a range of mental health service providers, received the following request from NHS Nottingham City.
“We are currently reviewing all advocacy services currently provided in the City and the County. Following this review we need to make some decisions about what advocacy will look like in the future, how it will be delivered and who will be able to access it. We would be interested in your views on this and would be grateful if you could answer the questions below. If you are able to feed any service user thoughts/comments into this process that would be extremely useful.
1. What currently works well?
2. Are there any gaps in provision?
3. Given that people who use services will have much greater control over their care in the future, for example through purchasing their own services through individual budgets – what role would you like Advocacy to play in this new way of giving and receiving care?
4. Any other comments.”
