What we do
Llais West Wales Region is here to make sure your views and experiences are used by decision-makers to plan and deliver better health and social care services in your local area.
We hear from the public in many different ways. We visit NHS and social care services to talk to patients, residents and carers. We talk to people at public events, and through community groups.
Our Advocacy Service helps people who want to raise a concern about care or treatment.
We use surveys, apps and social media to engage with our community, and we produce reports on what we've heard.

This means that we need to make more of an effort to find out their views and experiences. Instead of waiting for people to contact Llais to share their views, we need to meet with people with learning disabilities, their carers, friends, families and others, to see what we can find out and what they want to share with us.
This submission outlines how we have laid strong foundations in our early development and are building momentum in our engagement, influence and impact. It highlights where we have focused and will be focusing in the future.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission consultation asked organisations for feedback on changes to the code of practice following a Supreme Court decision which clarified definitions of legal sex in relation to the Equality Act 2010. This has important implications for how organisations define and handle issues relating to sex and gender identity. This is our response.

Raising a concern about health and social care services
When things go wrong, raising your concern can seem “a step too far” or too time-consuming, especially as it may be at a particularly difficult time.
But raising your concern in the right way is important. It can make a positive difference to others, preventing the same happening to them and ensuring our future care is better.
We can help with complaints advocacy
If you need to raise a concern about an NHS or social care service, you can talk to us. Our trained, dedicated complaints advocacy staff will provide you with the free, independent, and confidential support you are entitled to.
