Last year local people and businesses completed our survey and told us of their concerns about access to GP services.

As a result of your feedback, Healthwatch carried out work with local GPs to improve services. We continue to do that this year.

Please give us your feedback and constructive ideas - it really does make a difference. For example; when we looked into GP services, it became apparent that there was so much information on display in waiting rooms that patients didn’t know what was important for them to look at.
