Michelle Lee, managing director for Virgin Care in East Staffordshire, said: "We've been delivering the improving lives project with East Staffordshire CCG for 18 months now and in that time we've begun making improvements to services which are helping to keep people happier, healthier and in control."
The meeting, which has been organised with the East Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, CCG, patient board, will take place on Tuesday, October 10 between 5pm and 8.30pm in the main hall at Burton Town Hall.
