PEOPLE are being invited to have their say on the future of Hampshire's mental health services during a series of drop-in sessions.

Health bosses hope to use the public feedback to come up with a series of plans on how mental healthcare is delivered during the next five years. Hampshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Nick Yeo has urged people to attend the drop-in events.

He said: "There is a real opportunity to redesign services for the future in ways that will give people what they want and need, as well as becoming more efficient.

"We can only achieve that if we speak to everyone to make sure we are doing what is right for our communities."

The drop in events are all open to the public from 1pm until 7pm and will take place on · March 22 - Testwood Baptist Church, Totton, SO40 3LZ · March 30 - Ferneham Hall, Osborn Road, Fareham, PO16 7DR · April 21 - Central Hall, St Mary Street, Southampton, SO14 1NF People can also contact the trust's engagement team about the future of mental health services by calling 023 8087 4118 or emailing engagement.office@hantspt-sw.nhs.uk.
