Hertfordshire’s top NHS body is asking the public to rate local health and social care services by how good – and how safe – they are.
People will also be able to say how well online services provided by GPs and others are working. The Integrated Care Board (ICB) for Herts and West Essex is running the online survey.
This is a chance to tell the NHS what we think of it, and the Dacorum Health Action Group (DHAG) is urging people to take the chance to get their voices heard.
DHAG Chair Philip Aylett says:
‘It’s not often that the NHS lays itself open to judgment like this, and I hope a lot of people will take the opportunity to make clear where services are safe and of good quality – and where they’re failing. That means we can say what is good or bad at Watford General, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead Hospitals, but also give our views of GP and social care services.
‘The NHS is going to rely more and more on online services in the future, so we need to tell it where they can be improved.
‘This is a simple survey which doesn’t take long to do. I hope lots of people will fill it in.’

How confident do you feel, using a scale of 1-5, that the care you or a family member received was safe?
