We surveyed 70 people and held four focus groups with 39 people, from the Nepalese community, with the help of community organisations.

We spoke with 34 people (more than half of whom were aged over 75) in the waiting area of the Eye Clinic, during two visits on 28 January and 11 February 2015.

Papers for the Healthwatch Reading board meeting held in public.

Reading has a large Polish community who have arrived in recent years, so we spoke with 43 people from this group in October and November 2013 to understand their experience of using health services.

In response to concerns raised by the Reading Youth Cabinet about access to mental health support, we surveyed 170 young people at 13 secondary schools across the town, about their awareness and contact with specialist school nurses.
