PTHB Better Together consultation - what we heard in October 2026

As Powys Teaching Health Board's Better Together consultation progresses, we are sharing monthly updates on what communities across the county are saying on different issues.

We want people across Powys to know what we are hearing, what we are raising with Powys Teaching Health Board and how the Health Board responds. This is part of our role as the independent body that makes sure people’s voices are heard in health and social care.

This report brings together what we heard and observed at Better Together events in Builth Wells, Machynlleth, Knighton, Llanfyllin, Crickhowell and online during October 2026. It describes the issues people raised across Powys, including concerns specific to individual communities, and what we noticed about how the events were run. It is based on Llais’ notes from discussions led by Powys Teaching Health Board.
