RESPONSES TO THE WHITE PAPER
NALM believes that an independent HealthWatch will thrive and be able to hold the regulators and the whole of the health and social care system to account ... but this requires HealthWatch England to be fully independent of the Care Quality Commission and to have a Board elected from Local HealthWatch.
Local HealthWatch must also be fully independent and not accountable to Local Authorities.
For the new system to be effective, current legislation should be modified so that relevant government departments, the National Commissioning Agency, the statutory bodies, Local Authorities, providers and commissioners of health and social care have a duty to involve HealthWatch in decision-making, commissioning and service development.

HEALTHWATCH: GOOD IN PRINCIPLE - WORRYING IN PRACTICE
Guest editorial - Sunday, 23 January 2011
It suggests that councils can continue to cream-skim scrutiny funding budgets, that HealthWatch won't be very independent and that the position of advocacy, is seriously unclear.
