Good morning everyone,
NHS Norfolk and NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney Cluster Equality Delivery System Consultation
The NHS Norfolk and NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney Cluster are consulting on the Equality Delivery System (EDS). A 90 day consultation period begins on Monday, 5 September 2011 and will run until Sunday, 4 December 2011.
NHS Norfolk and NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney remain committed to developing an organisational culture that promotes Equality and Diversity and to ensuring that future NHS organisations are equipped to meet their duties relating to equality and human rights placed upon them by equality legislation. We therefore welcome the opportunity to publish our EDS Outcomes Framework (2011 – 2013) and within this, we include our priorities and actions from our respective Single Equality Schemes.
This Framework sets out our long term commitment to equality, diversity, human rights and community cohesion and it will be monitored against robust evidence of compliance and regularly refreshed to ensure its relevance.
There is a short questionnaire included at the back of the document to enable you to express your views. You can download a copy of the Equality Delivery System Outcomes Framework 2011-2013 from both the NHS Norfolk website and the NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney website by using the links below. The questionnaire can also be completed online and can be accessed through the following link:

If you are a member of an organisation, we would be very grateful if you would circulate details of the document to your members and any other organisation/individual who you think may be interested.
Please take this opportunity to get involved and let us know your thoughts.
Thank you
Kind Regards,
Sandy Griffiths,
Engagement Manager,

Comments: 0 Add a Comment= = = Norfolk County Council = = =
Interested in helping to improve health and social care?
Come and help shape your HealthWatch in Norfolk
Health and social care services help people to live longer, healthier, fulfilling and independent lives. They provide important services in our local communities to prevent people from becoming ill and needing care, and to support people when they do.
As a result of the Health and Social Care Bill we are developing a local HealthWatch service by October 2012 to help improve health and adult social care services in Norfolk.
HealthWatch will
. Influence local health and social care to better meet people’s needs.
. Advise individuals about local health and social care and signpost them to appropriate services.
We need your help
We are running a series of events across Norfolk where we would like you to come and tell us how:
. You think Local HealthWatch should work.
. HealthWatch should be organised to best meet people’s needs.
. We can involve you more in helping to shape HealthWatch.
Who should attend
. Voluntary organisations that support or represent people who use the services
. Patient participation groups
. Carers’ groups
. Local Involvement Network (LINk) members
. Anyone with an interest in health and social care services
