Commissioner response to our report 'How to help...: exploring how mental health services can support emotional wellbeing'
In November 2018, we received a detailed response to our report from Surrey Mental Health CCG Collaboratives and Surrey County Council, the commissioners of mental health services for Surrey.
The commissioners thanked Healthwatch Surrey for our report, "It is always valuable to receive independent reports so we can be well informed and take action on the issues that are important to people."
