Michael Hills, the chairman of Hull CVS, said: "I'm delighted we have been selected to develop Healthwatch Hull.
"We're committed to providing a powerful voice on issues that affect people using health and care services."

The new body will have greater powers to strengthen the patient and public voice in local services.
