We want to hear from you!
We recently shared details on what we had previously heard about the Grenfell-affected community’s health needs and our proposals to make changes to support a community-led recovery.
This Next Steps document collated all the rich insight the NHS alongside our valued partners had pulled together over the last few years by asking survivors, bereaved and the local community lots of questions about their current health needs and what they are worried might occur in the future.
This feedback also fed into the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), which has now been published.
We received lots of feedback from our valued partners that people want more of a say and that the NHS needs to be more open about what they are doing.
We have listened very carefully to this feedback and although recent elections regrettably meant we had to put a temporary pause on our plans to engage further with the community, it has meant we were able to reflect on these past feedback and propose a way forward.
We also need to move quickly as – despite the disruption to our plans caused by recent elections - we are still required to produce a new North Kensington Recovery programme business case at the end of August and we want to make sure the up-to-date views of the local community are included. The intention of the business case is to describe how we will move to a community-led recovery and ensure we are using the resources we have as effectively as possible, which is something people have fed back they want us to do. The business case will be considered by NHS England and will lead to a decision on the future funding for health services for Grenfell-affected populations.
As part of this process we wish to gather the views from as wide a section of the community as possible. We would like to thank our partners for their support and goodwill as we check in with you all, to ensure we are on the right track.
We will be out and about in the local community meeting local organisation and stakeholders and will also hold some online meetings for people to attend.
If you would like to meet with us or propose we organise a meeting at a community venue near to you, please let us know nhsnwl.nkrt@nhs.net.
