Help Rutland people to have a say on improvements to improve access to health services in Rutland where treatment is needed on the same day.

Posted on:

As you will be aware the Integrated Care Board is inviting people to have their say on proposals to improve healthcare services in Rutland.

The proposals would improve services for people by bringing together two existing local services – the Minor Injuries Unit and the Urgent Care Centre, creating a Minor Illness and Injury Service which would be open 8 hours a day, 7 days a week in Rutland Memorial Hospital.

We want to give people living in Rutland and the immediate surrounding area the opportunity to share their views.  We would really appreciate your support in communicating the public consultation.

We will also be dropping off to the practice hard copy leaflets, questionnaire and posters.

The public consultation will run from Monday 13 January until Sunday 16 March 2025.

People can get involved by:

  • Completing the consultation questionnaire online at www.bit.ly/rutlandsurvey
  • Emailing views to: [email protected]
  • Telephoning: 0116 295 7572 to receive a paper copy of the questionnaire or information in another format
  • Picking up a copy of the questionnaire from a local community or public venue in Rutland
