Opportunity for paid community engagement (for community voices in kirklees)
Respond with expression of interest by midday on Monday 14th Feb
NHS Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is responsible for making sure people get the healthcare they need. The contract for the Interpreting Service used by GP services is due to come to an end in October 2022. The CCG want to work with patients and local people to understand what they value about the service provided by the Interpreting Service so that we can improve and develop the service. The views gathered will be used to help us decide what interpreting services are needed for the population of Kirklees. This will inform the decisions made when re-commissioning the service.

Engagement opportunity:
The CCGs are keen to hear the views of people living in the Kirklees area, and – whilst they have developed a survey – they would encourage and welcome you to use the most appropriate engagement mechanism for the communities that you work with. This could include running a focus group.
Timeframe:
The engagement is anticipated to commence on February 14th and will run for 4 weeks until 14th March 2022.
