Obtain the views of people about their need for and experience of local care services;
Present the views of the public through the production of reports and recommendations about how local care services could or ought to be improved;
Share this information with both local commissioners and providers and, when appropriate, national bodies such as Healthwatch England and Care Quality Commission, to have a positive impact on the standards of provision of local care services;
Assist Healthwatch England to enable it to carry out its functions effectively, efficiently and economically.
