Although the Community Health Councils in Wales are being replaced by Llais, the new Citizens’ Voice Body from 1st April 2023, arrangements have been put in place to ensure that any views sent to the Swansea Bay CHC will be transferred to Llais so there will not be any disruption to this or other engagements as a result.

Information Sessions 

We will be holding some face-to-face community events and online sessions to talk to people about these changes and get their views as we normally do.

For more information about the face-to-face and online sessions, please follow this link to a Word document.

Please note: The online session taking place Wednesday 15th March, 2:00PM – 4:00PM, has been cancelled. This session will be rearranged and a new date will be publicised soon.
