A Healthier Bedfordshire
what you told us

NHS Bedfordshire spends more than £500 million on healthcare services every year for the 420,000 people who live in Bedfordshire.

We are now reviewing and refreshing our strategy to take account of the views expressed and we will publish an updated version of A Healthier Bedfordshire in November.

Our plans do span the next few years and we will be holding further consultations on specific service developments as they arise. In the meantime we are always keen to listen to any views you may have about health and health services locally.
