Such a lovely A-Z illustration and highly appropriate after such a busy afternoon.... Thank you to all the volunteers who came along to Kernow Maternity Voices Partnership's first informal meeting.

Cornwall Council is seeking the views of residents across Cornwall to help shape the future of sexual health services.
From getting free emergency contraception, to free condoms from the C-Card service, screening at The Hub and even having a coil fitted, a broad range of sexual health services are funded by Cornwall Council’s Wellbeing and Public Health team.
Later this year the Council will be recommissioning some of these services, and we’ll use what you tell us to make sur...e we commission the right services.
We want to know;
Are services open at the right time? Are they in the right place? Are they accessible? How should they develop in the future?
The survey is open from 17 July 2018 until 14 September 2018
