Llais is the national, independent body set up by the Welsh Government to give the people of Wales a stronger voice in their health and social care services.
What we do
Llais is here to make sure your views and experiences are used by decision-makers to plan and deliver better health and social care services. Your local Llais team, across seven regions in Wales, gather your experiences – good and bad – of health and social care services and represent your views. We work with local NHS and social care providers to respond to the things that matter most to people in the communities they serve. Llais also offers a complaints advocacy service for when services don’t work as we would hope. Because we’re a statutory body, health and social care services need to tell us what they are doing with our recommendations. They also tell us about changes to services that might affect you.
