Deadline looming for Patient Survey

The submission deadline for the GP Patient Survey is fast approaching.

A total of 7,800 people were selected at random, and have been asked to fill out and return a questionnaire which will gauge customer service satisfaction.

Issues like accessing GP services, making appointments and waiting times have been covered .

Minister David Anderson is encouraging all recipients to take the time to complete and return the document as it helps them shape the future of service delivery.

A similar exercise in 2009 saw 77 per cent of respondents describe themselves as satisfied with GP services.
