Have your say on children’s surgery and critical stroke care - click here to take the survey.

People living in Barnsley, Bassetlaw, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield are being invited to share their thoughts on proposals to change our region’s services for:

• Children’s surgery and anaesthesia 
• Hyper acute stroke, where patients are treated and given care for up to the first 72 hours after having a stroke. 

The proposals, incorporating public feedback, have been developed by Commissioners Working Together, a partnership of the region’s NHS clinical commissioning groups and NHS England to improve services across South and Mid Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire.         

Depending on where you live, some patients have better experiences and access to services than others – and doctors, nurses and healthcare experts all agreed that this shouldn’t happen – and have come together to change it.

Between Monday 3 October 2016 and Tuesday 14 February 2017, members of the public are invited to share their views on the proposed option for the future of these services – with a final decision expected to be made by clinical commissioners in April.
