This morning as I was checking through a few health orientated web sites I came across ‘Listening to you – Your health matters’ a consultation paper from the Welsh Government.  While the page is written in what I can only call splendid governmentese the objective does seem a sound one to me.  That is to find out what people think about proposed legislation which would impact the delivery of health services.

But how does this work in practice?  Have you ever been involved in this kind of consultation?

If you have or have any opinion about it please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments boxes below.

However it also prompts the question to what extent do you as a use of health services actually feel in control of those you get.  Not exactly from a clinical point of view but rather from a managing point of view.

So it would be great if you could take part on the poll below which asks the very simple question  – do you feel in control of your healthcare?
