Hackney GPs are again urging residents who have received a Government questionnaire about the services they receive from their doctors, to fill it in and send it back.  

The Department of Health’s ‘GP Patient Survey’ has been posted out to NHS patients across the UK and gives people the chance to have their say about local health services.  

The questionnaire, which was mailed out in July, by research group Ipsos MORI, covers all aspects of patients experience at their local practice, including how easy it is to make an appointment, the quality of care received from GPs and practice nurses and whether or not patients with long term illnesses like Diabetes or high blood pressure feel supported.
