At each meeting we talk about local and national issues that concern us as service users. Over the last few years we have used the meetings as a basis for producing reports, which are sent to a range of health and care professionals in the hope of influencing change.

The reports we have produced so far are:

Web Pages:

• Closure of Craig Dunain
• Medication
• Suicide

• Benefits - 'Living or Existing?'

The following reports are currently only available in hard copy:
