The Public Experience: Mental Health and Well-Being

Our latest briefing looks at the public experiences of mental health and wellbeing.

Summary

We received 139 valid responses to our surveys, with 21 responses for our organisation survey and 118 responses for our individual survey. 

We asked organisations to identify the top three issues facing their service users or members. Of the 14 areas listed, the majority of organisations indicated GP services as the top current issue, followed by mental health and social care

Key issues: 

  • GP services, mental health, and social care have been highlighted as some of the current priority issues facing people across North Yorkshire. 
  • As shown in our last Pulse Report, services are perceived as being worse or the same as before COVID-19, highlighting the immense pressure the health and care sector is under.
  • The issues raised appear to be even more severe for those with protected characteristics such as those with dementia, those with learning and/or physical disabilities, or mental health issues. 

Thank you to everyone who responded to our survey and contributed feedback. Your voices help inform and shape health and social care services in North Yorkshire.
