QUESTION 2 (Please do not include personal information in your response)
50-60% of our Friends and Family feedback is either asking us to provide more appointments or offer more evening and weekend appointments. Increasing weekend and evening appointments will reduce weekday and early morning appointment availability because the GPs who would be providing these appointments are the same GPs who would otherwise be providing weekday appointments. The shortage of GP appointments is a national problem and moving appointments from weekdays to weekends would simply be shifting the problem. It would also have a negative impact on our ability to communicate and work effectively as a team.
GP surgeries in Swindon are under-staffed and under-funded and if you feel strongly about this why not contact your MP and ask that the Government finds realistic solutions to a growing, national problem ?
We would welcome any other comments, whether positive or negative, with regard to the services we offer
Feedback on responses to these questions will be found on
our website: www.homegroundsurgery.nhs.uk approximately one month after the survey closes at month end
