Patient and Client Council - Young People's Priorities in Health and Social Care

The Patient and Client Council are seeking the views of those aged between 16 -21 years on health and social care. Every year, the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety set priorities - these are published in a document called “Priorities for Action”.  Health and Social Care staff then act on these priorities to improve services. This is your chance to shape future priorities!

Comments from clients:

"I gained a lot from talking to young people. They were genuinely interested, as they choose to take part, and not there because their boss sent them which can often be the case when engaging with adults."
