Service Provision for the Blind and Partially Sighted People in Barnsley
underfunded and stretched beyond their capacity.
In response to questions and concerns raised by several individuals, regarding lack of services for Blind and Partially Sighted people living in Barnsley, Healthwatch arranged a meeting with visually impaired people to talk about the services available to them in the area. An invitation went out to all of our networks and via the hospital, social services and Steve Hambleton of Sight and Sound Rotherham and Royal Society for the Blind Sheffield. Although the initial response was high, only a few people attended the meeting.
Prior to the meeting our Engagement Officer contacted service providers for information to feed into the meeting.
