The public is being offered a primary role to shape future Manx health and care services.

The Health and Care Transformation Programme is asking the public for their views on how general practice (GP) services, dental services, pharmacies and opticians can best support them with their health and wellbeing.

The results will help shape the future of health and care services, specifically the first port of call, i.e. primary care, as these services are where the public go when they first need help.

This survey takes on average five minutes to complete and is available until 29 January 2021.

You can find the survey by clicking here.
