Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

A national organisation that represents people who use health and care services in England. It is independent, and exists to gather and represent the views of the public, but does not have the power to change how things are done. It reports problems and concerns to the Care Quality Commission, which has the power to make changes. There is a local Healthwatch in every council area.
