Name and a little bit about yourself
I am Claire and I have lived in Stockport my whole life. I live with my partner and 3 children aged 1, 8 and 10 (almost 11) so they keep me very busy!

In your view what does Healthwatch Stockport do?
I believe Healthwatch provides a service to the community to help people when they need advice or support and are not sure where to go to get the correct information.

I wanted to be able to help people.

How long have you been involved with Healthwatch Stockport?
I started on the 6th April so still a newbie!

What is the best thing about Healthwatch Stockport?
From what I have seen so far everyone seems to be happy to go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble for anyone

Yes I also have a bank role at Mastercall Healthcare.

What is your role within those organisations or groups?
