This report provides insights into local people’s views on, and experiences of Public Health services across Surrey. It is based on what people have told us at our agenda free listening engagement events, and via our Helpdesk, Independent Health Complaints Advocacy service, Giving Carers a Voice engagement, Combating Drugs Partnership Public Involvement, online Feedback Centre, postal submissions and Healthwatch England’s website.

Our report focusses on 3 key areas:
- Children and families (specifically Health Visitors and the 0-19 service)
- Nutrition and activity
- Healthy hearts.
We have also included a small amount of feedback on Stop Smoking and Sexual Health.
We include 6 points that would be helpful to local people:
- Continue to raise awareness of the 0-19 service particularly amongst those who are not first-time parents.
- Remind parents that the service is not just for babies.
- Remind parents of the importance of the 6-week check.
- Work towards meeting the 2-week target for tongue-tie referrals.
- Incorporate safety in the home talks, talks about developmental milestones, and safe sleep.
- Review process for SPA – waiting list and criteria for acceptance.
