The NHS in North Derbyshire launches proposals for better care closer to home for more older people

Better joined-up care closer to home would become a reality for many older people in North Derbyshire under proposals at the heart of a public consultation. The consultation began at 12pm on Wednesday 29 June and closes at 12pm on Wednesday the 5 October. 

It is the first public consultation that is part of a major ongoing programme of work called 21C #JoinedUpCare. 21C is a partnership between local NHS commissioners and providers, Derbyshire County Council and the voluntary sector.

Eleven public meetings about the consultation have been organised throughout North Derbyshire beginning on 4 July. Everyone is encouraged to have their say.

The consultation document and questionnaire is available online and at surgeries and hospitals. More information about the proposals and the public meeting dates and venues is available at www.joinedupcare.org.uk
