| 3. | Obtaining the views of local people regarding their needs for, and experiences of, local care services and importantly to make these views known, sharing these reports with commissioners and to relevant strategic boards( e.g such as but not limited to St Helens People's Board) |
| 4. | Making reports and recommendations about how local care services could or ought to be improved within an overall framework that recognises financial constraints. These should be directed to commissioners and providers of care services, and people responsible for managing or scrutinising local care services and shared with Healthwatch England |
| 5. | Providing advice and information about access to local care services so choices can be made about local care services. |
