This Impact Review Report presents the outcomes and influence of Healthwatch Cornwall’s Preliminary Cost of Living Report (published 30 September 2024), which captured the real-life experiences of over 400 people across the county.

These “400 Voices of Cornwall” shed light on the growing crisis of healthcare access amid rising living costs. From dental care to GP access, medication affordability to travel barriers, the evidence highlights a system under pressure—and a population struggling to engage with the services it needs.

This report outlines the outcomes and improvements arising from Healthwatch Cornwall’s engagement with carers and individuals affected by dementia and memory loss. The findings, based on the ‘Hear Our Voice’ research, aim to enhance the quality of services and support available for dementia care across Cornwall.
