MS urges Wrexham residents to have their say in local health survey
A local politician is urging residents in Wrexham to take part in an online survey which could help shape future health and wellbeing services in the county borough.
Wrexham Council, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) and the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham (AVOW) are working with a specialist NHS consultancy unit on a feasibility study to look at opportunities for new hubs in the area.
It is hoped that the hubs will bring together health and social care teams to provide targeted, localised services.
Clwyd South MS Ken Skates is urging residents to have their say on the plans in an online consultation.

Mr Skates said: “I attended a recent ‘South Wrexham Cluster’ workshop in Cefn Mawr alongside local county councillor Derek Wright, other local community councillors and health, social care and voluntary sector professionals.
“This survey is the next step in the feasibility study.
“The consultancy team have developed a citizen survey for the people of Wrexham to have their say on health and social care integrated wellbeing hubs.
“This survey is live until October 1 and the more feedback they receive from local people the better.”
Mr Skates added: “These hubs will have wellbeing at their heart, with health and social care teams working together to give people access to the right support at the right time. Local voices are vital in this so the right people can understand your experiences of how your local services impact your wellbeing – and where there are opportunities for improvements.”
The survey is live until October 1 and the research is being undertaken by the NECS (North of England Care System Support), which is part of the NHS and specialises in developing innovative healthcare solutions.
