Get involved

Oldham residents still have a say in how eye care is organised across Greater Manchester, while two earlier consultations on IVF limits and adult ADHD help have already closed. The decisions made in those closed exercises will shape how many chances couples get at fertility treatment and how quickly adults can be assessed for attention disorders.

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care is now asking for views on interpreting and translation services used in hospitals and GP practices. Your answers could decide whether future appointments are offered with professional interpreters or translated letters.

Another live strand invites comment on the Individual Funding Request Service, the panel that rules when treatments not normally offered on the NHS might still be paid for. The panel's criteria are being rewritten, so local patients with rare or complex conditions could find it easier, or harder, to get drugs or operations approved.

Monthly public board meetings continue at NHS Greater Manchester, and the next one is open to anyone who wants to watch or ask questions. If you need the papers in large print, braille, or another language, the engagement team will supply them within days.

All feedback is collected through the same online hub. Once each project finishes, the care board publishes a short report showing what residents said and what, if anything, changed as a result.
