Better Together - Seeking Your Views on Adult Physical and Mental Health Community Services in Powys
We are seeking your initial views on adult physical and mental health community services in Powys by 27 July 2025. This website explains how you can find out more and have your say.
Thank you for your interest in Better Together. It is our big conversation with you to shape the future of safe, quality health services for Powys and ensure delivery of our Health and Care Strategy.
We are committed to working with patients, service users, communities, health and care staff, and partner organisations to improve health outcomes and make services more efficient and effective.
Whilst we have some excellent foundations to build on, we now need to radically change the way we provide services so that we can meet increasing demand and the future needs of the population.
We have a duty of care to ensure that we provide high quality services to our population. We also have a duty to live within our means. To achieve this, we need to consider options for how and where we could provide services in the future. This might mean patients need to access services in a different way or in a different place.
We will do this by working ‘Better Together’ with local people, partners and staff to shape health and care services that are sustainable, effective, and focused on what matters most to our communities.
This website explains why change is needed, our level of ambition to transform healthcare services, and how you can have your say.
Through listening to our patients, and to our clinical and professional teams, we have identified the need to focus our efforts initially on our physical and mental health community services. This is due to the challenges these services are experiencing, and the increasing impact this is having on quality and our ability to provide safe and effective care.
We are seeking your views on how we address the challenges and provide sustainable services for the future.
There will be other opportunities to hear your views on how we address other challenges identified within the Case for Change which we published in April. During 2025 we are focusing on adult physical and mental health community services. After this, we will focus on planned care (such as routine outpatients, surgical day cases and investigations which help to identify a health condition or disease) followed by services which support children, families and women’s health.
