The aim of local Healthwatch is to act as the consumer voice for health and social care. It aims to benefit patients, users of services, carers and the public through promoting and supporting the involvement of people in the commissioning and provision of services, helping services to be more responsive to people's needs and improving outcomes. Healthwatch Brent will be effective and independent and is expected to coordinate and build upon on all of the existing mechanisms for engaging users of health and social care services. It will also be expected to establish relationships that engage communities, patient, service user, carer groups and bring a strong voice to the Health and Wellbeing Board The total budget for the whole contract period of 5 year will be upto £628,761. The duration of the contracts will be for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend for two years on a one plus one basis.
