Consultations & surveys
We’re all shaping local services – from the people who live and work in Greater Manchester, to the many local organisations involved in health and social care here.
Open Surveys

Bolton Health and Care Partnership
Bolton Health and Care Partnership is working together as one team to make improvements for people in the borough.
Over the next five years, it wants to make sure that health and care services are the best they can be. It can only do that by listening to what matters most to you and your loved ones.
The partnership is made up of Bolton colleagues from primary care, secondary care, the local authority, public health and the voluntary sector.
Its top priorities across Bolton are:
- Reducing unfair differences in health
- Supporting connections in our communities
- Helping Bolton residents to live well
- Giving our children every chance to succeed
- Making the best use of our resources
- Investing in our current staff and opening doors for future generations
Its health-specific priorities are:
- Improving the health of the population
- Enhancing people’s experience from start to finish
- Innovating and collaborating for the future

Let’s Talk Bowel Screening
This survey is for people aged 54+ who live in Manchester or are registered with a Manchester GP.
The survey asks questions about NHS bowel cancer screening and will take about five minutes to complete. Your feedback will help your local NHS to understand how people feel about bowel screening, and help us make changes to how we promote screening.
Your feedback is anonymous, which means we will not know who has answered the questions.
The survey will close on 31 January 2024.
