Member Surveys and Reports
We regularly survey the opinions of our members in order to
accurately represent their views to government and other
stakeholders. We also co-ordinate their responses in national
consultation exercises and commission reports from experts on key
issues both to inform our work on behalf of boards and trusts and
to influence decision-makers.
