Establishing local Healthwatch (LHW) is a series of briefings produced by the LGA to assist local authorities, their partners and the NHS to support the commissioning, setting up and early development of local Healthwatch.
Local Healthwatch's duties extend to involving children and young people in their work. It needs to develop strategies for effectively involving children and young people, and particularly those who are most disadvantaged.
