Care Quality Commission (CQC) Engagement Summary Report July 2023

We were asked by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to gather feedback from people who are homeless or have no fixed abode about their experiences of health and social care.

In total, we spoke to 32 people and received 48 different experiences. Around 27 per cent of the feedback could not be used as people either could not name the service they had used, or did not wish to name it.

Healthwatch Norfolk worked with two different organisations (Sanctuary Supported Living and The Salvation Army) to gather feedback and visited five different sites across Norfolk – two in Norwich and one each in Dereham, Costessey and Cromer. One person also contacted us independently with their feedback.

Three Hospitals Three Weeks – patient experience at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

During the week 22nd to 26th May 2023, we visited The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn every day to find out about patient experience. We wanted to find out what was working well and what could be better.

We visited outpatient clinics, patients on wards, and Accident and Emergency to speak with patients, their carers, and their visitors. While we were there we made observations and spoke to staff about their experiences too. The surveys were also available online until the end of July 2023 for people who could not share their feedback with us during that week.

The visit formed part of our Three Hospitals Three Weeks project which saw Healthwatch Norfolk visit the Queen Elizabeth, James Paget University Hospital, and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for a week each.
