The ICB are currently planning an ‘engagement strategy’ they will no doubt direct you to when they respond. We suggest that the ICB spends time and resources on reading the complaints they have received, the feedback from the Do It Profiler (which we understand nobody has yet read or analysed), the blogs we have written, the Healthwatch Report, and the 140+ neurodivergent voices we have amplified, before coming to the community asking for any further ‘engagement’ just so they can tick off their Public Sector Equality Duty 8 months late.

Patient Participation Groups at your GP Practice

Every GP practice has a Patient Participation Group (PPG). We suggest joining yours, attending and explaining this situation there.
