A new health watchdog is inviting residents and organisations to get involved with a committee to discuss health and social care in Redbridge.

Healthwatch Redbridge is holding a workshop on forming an advisory committee on Tuesday and is looking for under-represented groups to help develop plans.

The independent group was set up in April to give local people a chance to influence changing health services in the borough.

Chief executive officer Cathy Turland said: “We hope that everyone in the community will take full advantage of this opportunity.”

The workshop will run from 2-5pm at Forest House, Clements Road, Ilford.
