1 story · 1 council

Healthwatch Hounslow's October 2026 report on patient experience in local health services did not detail treatment costs.

A Healthwatch Hounslow report, published in October 2026, reviewed patient experience across local health and care services, including GP, hospital, dental, and community services. The report gathered 376 reviews, noting recurring concerns about access and communication, alongside positive feedback on staff support and treatment quality. However, the report did not specifically address the financial expense incurred by patients for these treatments.

The financial expense incurred by patients for medical and dental procedures and services remains a significant aspect of healthcare, though no further council discussions are currently scheduled.
