Powys Teaching Health Board Consultation - 'Better Together'

Powys Teaching Health Board is consulting on potential options for the future of community-based NHS care and wants to hear the views of people in the area. This includes a plan for:

  • Physical Health Services -Services that help adults have healthy bodies and manage illnesses and conditions.
  • Urgent Care Services - Services for children and adults when you need medical help quickly, but your life is not in danger.
  • Mental Health Services - Services that support adults who are struggling with their mental health.
As part of the 'Better Together' consultation, a series of face-to-face drop in events, focus groups and online sessions are being held across the area where people can give their views. You can find out more here.

Members of the Powys Teaching Health Board engagement team are attending a range of community groups and events to raise awareness of the consultation and provide copies of the consultation materials. This targeted programme of activities helps to reach out to people who may face barriers to participation through printed documents and questionnaires, online information and surveys, or public drop-ins. This includes two events with Accessibility Powys, details as follows:

  • Wednesday 18th November from 10:00-12:00 at The Welfare Ystradgynlais, Brecon Rd, SA9 1JJ
  • Tuesday 24th November from 10:00-12:00 at Scout Hut, Scout Lane, Brecon, LD3 7DX
The closing date for responses to the consultation is 10th January 2027.
