Received: 03/03/2018

Respondent: Ms Sian Thomas

Representation Summary:

Strategic Objective 14: To work with Essex County Council and healthcare providers to ensure that our district's residents have access to good quality social and health and well-being services.
How do we ensure that this happens over the next 20 years? This is a big challenge e.g. I have had a gynae appointment postponed 3 times at Southend Hospital between Sept 2017 + end March 2018. This has meant that I am living with pain + stress daily. I had to wait 4 months for bereavement counselling, again, not good for my well-being.
