Healthwatch Cheshire Publish Mental Health and Wellbeing During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Report
Since the beginning of May 2020, we have been asking Cheshire residents to complete a survey to tell us about their views and experiences during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic so we can understand what is working well and what could be improved, as well as considering people’s mental health and wellbeing during the pandemic.
The following is a report of the findings from the Healthwatch Cheshire Health and Wellbeing During Coronavirus survey. It is based upon the 1,121 responses up to Friday 3rd July 2020, of which 551 are from residents of Cheshire East and 571 are from people living in Cheshire West and Chester. The nature of the survey being made up of multiple questions means that across Cheshire we have close to 4,000 individual comments on health, care, mental health and wellbeing during this period. This particular report focuses on what people told us about their mental health and wellbeing during this period, with a separate report published regarding the general views and experiences of people accessing health and care across Cheshire.
We have chosen to produce a report based on responses up until the end of Friday 3rd July 2020 as the survey has since been adapted to continue to provide relevant information following the changes in Government guidance that took effect on Saturday 4th July 2020. The survey is ongoing and we will continue to provide up to date information to partners and publish further reports on our websites. A reminder that you can access the survey at:
