West Yorkshire Insight Briefing - Winter, January 2024

What people across West Yorkshire are telling us about their experience of health and care services during the Winter months.
Healthwatch, working together across West Yorkshire, has produced a briefing paper highlighting some of the challenges and issues being faced by people and communities, when trying to access health and care services during Winter.
It summarises the key messages related to the winter period that local Healthwatch across West Yorkshire have been hearing from the people in their local areas.
We asked people:
  • Does anything worry you about your health and healthcare services in winter?
  • What are you doing to keep yourself well in winter?
  • What can Healthcare services do to help keep you well in Winter?

Thank you to everyone across West Yorkshire who provided responses and shared your thoughts and experiences. The responses to the survey were used to develop this briefing paper which was included at the January West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board meeting alongside the formal board meeting papers and helped to make sure that real experiences are considered and are influencing the decisions made in the meeting.

This report has been shared with those in charge of planning health and care services at the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board meeting on Tuesday 16 January 2024.
