GP surgeries score highly after review

80 per cent of patients on the Island would recommend their GP practice to their friends and family.

That’s according to new data collected by the Department of Health.

Last summer 8,000 people on the Island were surveyed in an effort to review how the Island’s GP practices are viewed.

People were asked to comment on the service including things like making appointments, the care from nurses and their doctors.

The Department of Health says the results compare favourably with the results of a similar survey carried out across England at the same time.
