Consultations and engagement
The links below will take you to details of our public engagement and consultation programmes, both those under way and those which have now finished. If you need any of this information in a different language or format, please contact Patient Services by telephone on 01387 272 733, by email at dg.patientservices@nhs.scot or via Contact SCOTLAND-BSL.
A Participation and Engagement Network is in place for the region. From time to time it will send out information on the engagement activity being carried out by local agencies such as the NHS and Council, and it will highlight opportunities to take part.
If you want to join the Participation and Engagement Network, or if you have any comments or suggestions on our engagement and consultation work, please let us know by emailing dgcommunications@nhs.scot. Please get in touch as well if you have any comments or suggestions about health and social care in Dumfries and Galloway.
Our consultation and engagement work is informed by the Scottish Government’s Planning with People guidance, which sets out the responsibilities NHS boards, local authorities and Integration Joint Boards have to community engagement when health and social care services are being planned, or when changes to services are being considered, and supports them to involve people meaningfully.
