In common with all parts of England, the NHS in Enfield is suffering from shortages of GPs and hospital staff, accident and emergency departments at the North Mid and Barnet hospitals are struggling and patients are having to wait longer for planned operations. Enfield's NHS is not alone in being underfunded too, but even compared with neighbouring north London boroughs Enfield suffers from particularly severe financial problems. And, again like everywhere in England, Enfield's NHS is in the middle of a major reorganisation. You will be able to find out more, and feed in your views, at Healthwatch Enfield's annual general meeting on 4th March at the Lee Valley Sports Complex.

About Healthwatch Enfield
Healthwatch Enfield is an independent organisation set-up to ensure that local people have a real say in the way that health and social care services are provided in the borough. It is independent, but part of a national network of Healthwatch organisations set up by Parliament with real powers for change.
We work by: providing information and signposting to help people connect with the most useful services and support available to them; by referring complaints and putting people in touch with the appropriate complaints’ process and/or referring them to someone who can support them in making a complaint; and by influencing decision – listening to what people say and feeding back to those who plan, commission and deliver services. This includes representation on the Health and Wellbeing Board and the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in Enfield. To find out more please go to www.healthwatchenfield.co.uk.
