Oldham families can now see exactly which Greater Manchester panel signs off on their child's eating-disorder care.

Oldham residents now have a single Greater Manchester web page that pulls back the curtain on who decides what happens in local clinics, hospitals and care homes.

The site does not book your flu jab or repeat prescription; it is a plain-language map of the committees, budgets and boards that shape those everyday services.

If you are trying to help a child with an eating disorder, need a hearing-aid battery, or want to know why evening GP appointments suddenly stopped, the page lists the exact teams and funding rules behind each service.

Mental-health crisis drop-ins, SEND transport policies and the opaque 'Individual Funding Request' panel that approves specialist treatments are all named and linked, often for the first time outside council papers.

The council stresses this is only a directory; it will not shorten waiting lists overnight, but it does give residents the names and contact points needed to challenge or support future decisions.
