MENTAL HEALTH BRIEFING EVENTS

Argyll & Bute Community Health Partnership is running a series of briefing events during March where members of the public will be able to come along to hear about the progress that has been made in the design of future mental health services for Argyll and Bute.

The meetings are open to everyone and there will be an opportunity on the day to view the latest information, ask questions and give feedback to senior health professionals.

Derek Leslie, General Manager of Argyll & Bute Community Health Partnership, said:

“Last year Argyll & Bute Community Health Partnership carried out a formal public consultation on proposals for change to mental health services in Argyll and Bute and the preferred option was approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing in the summer.

“Since then we have been implementing our project Plan and as part of this process we have arranged a number of briefing meetings across Argyll and Bute where members of the public can hear about the progress made so far.

“These meetings are open to everyone and I would particularly welcome and encourage attendance from people with an interest in local health service provision and local groups.
 
“At each event there will be an opportunity to view a display, listen to a short presentation, ask questions and give feedback on how well we are keeping to our guiding principles.”
