TIME is running out for healthcare users to have their say on facilities they rely on.
Oxleas NHS Trust is running a public consultation to invite comments on its plans to become a foundation trust.
Foundation trusts are run locally by managers, medical staff and the public.
Oxleas, which provides mental health and learning disability services in the borough, has applied for foundation status to allow more public involvement in the way it is run.
It will also give it greater control over the long-term development of its services.
The formal public consultation ends on Friday. To take part, call 0800 389 6642.
