RESIDENTS in East Lancashire are being asked to take part in a survey which will help plan NHS services.
NHS East Lancashire is carrying out a survey of the health and lifestyle of local people.
Over the next couple of weeks, 17,000 randomly selected East Lancashire adults will receive a questionnaire through the post. The selection was made via GP-registered patient lists.
The survey asks questions on health, lifestyle and feelings about local communities.
Dr Sohail Bhatti, interim director of public health, said: “The results of the survey will be used to help with making decisions about services to improve the health of local people. We want to understand more about the health of local residents and the issues which affect people’s health.”
All the information provided will be treated in strictest confidence and no ‘person identifiable’ information will be retained from the survey.
