Between September and November 2021, Healthwatch England submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to over 200 National Health Service (NHS) provider trusts to gather details on compliance with the Accessible Information Standard.

As part of Healthwatch England's 'Your Care, Your Way' campaign, they have set out five headline recommendations to help health and care services ensure that people who have communication needs are given their healthcare information in the way they need it.
