Questionnaire Results 2013/14 Q5. Chances of seeing a GP of your choice Rated poor in 2012/2013 Rated poor in 2013 /14 Comments made by patients 2721 o Could not see GP wanted to see o Seeing the same GP helps continuity of care o Difficult seeing your regular GP if you have ongoing problems SUGGESTED ACTION Despite implementing actions from last year 8% say still an issue. Main reason for this is having 2 sites both open at same time using same GP resource. Can PPG think of a solution or do we accept there isn’t anything we can do? Number is lower this year, so reduced
