More than 1,100 people and organisations have given their views during a 14-week consultation into the future of health services across north Essex.

And an independent initial analysis of the feedback will take place next month, with the public again invited to attend.

The views will be used to shape the plans of the four NHS organisations that make up the North East Essex Healthcare Modernisation Partnership the Colchester Primary Care Trust, Essex Rivers Healthcare NHS Trust, Tendring Primary Care Trust and Halstead Primary Care Group.

Clive Fletcher, chairman of the North East Essex Healthcare Modernisation Partnership, said he was pleased with both the quality and quality of the response.

"We've worked exceptionally hard over the past 14 weeks to get out and about all over north east Essex to find the views of a good cross section of the community," he said.
