….was a fantastic day for the community.  Over 1,000 people including 40 community and mainstream partners came together in Georges Park to enjoy the sunshine, the bouncy castles, football, ice cream, mountain bikes, and talk to stall holders about services  residents can access for free.

Saturday 5th June in Georges Park Neighbourhood management is organising a big event for all the family.  Come along and have some fun.  Find food and things to do. Talk to all the people who provide services locally.  Have a free Health Check. Join in with activities for everyone, children, young people, women and families. More details soon.

In January 2009 an NHS constitution was published which includes 25 patients’ rights, all of which are underpinned by law and are legally enforceable.

The Department of Health is currently consluting on some new patients’ rights and is seeking views on them. The Heart of Birmingham PCT (which covers our area in Lozells) is keen to encourage people to get involved in the consultation process – with responses required by 30 January.
