The Denny Review commissioned studies by Healthwatch Bedford Borough, Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire, Healthwatch Luton and Healthwatch Milton Keynes, working in partnership with grassroots VCSE organisations where trusted relationships were held.

The lived experiences part of the review ensured that the voices of more than 2,000 local people who experienced health inequalities were heard through a range of surveys, case studies and detailed discovery interviews.
