Residents are being reminded to submit their responses to the GP Patient Survey.

 

Over 8,500 people were chosen at random to receive a survey - they have until Friday 18th October to complete and send it.

 

The survey is being run by Ipsos MORI, commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care, with feedback to help shape the development of future health services.

 

Topics under discussion include accessing GP Services, making an appointment, general health, out of hours GP services and NHS Dental Services.

 

The last GP Patient Survey undertaken in 2015 covered all aspects of the service provided and showed an overall positive response, with 92% of respondents confirming they were happy with services provided by their GP practice.

 

Minister for Health and Social Care David Ashford said: ‘Gathering and listening to patient feedback is an important way of assessing how services are performing. This survey offers a representative sample of the Island’s population the opportunity to have their say on our vital GP services, and in doing so, shape their future development.’

 

The collated results will be published at the end of November this year.

 

Patients can also give feedback on GP services at any time by visiting www.tinyurl.com/iomgp.
