Following the closure of the ‘Moving On Service’ in Middleton, Healthwatch Rochdale were contacted by a number of service users who felt they had not been involved in the consultation process.
Subsequently, Healthwatch Rochdale spoke with 42 service users about the effects of the closure and published a report which included ten recommendations to Rochdale Adult Care. Since the closure of the ‘Moving On Service’, the centre has been redeveloped by Rochdale Borough Council and has reopened as ‘The Alkrington Hub’ with available spaces for groups to use.
Following recommendations made in the ‘Moving On’ report, Rochdale Borough Council asked Healthwatch Rochdale to work in partnership to identify what services Rochdale residents wanted to receive from the Hub.
