PATIENTS in Scarborough and across the region are being given the chance to have their say about improving GP services.
Around 54,000 people in North Yorkshire and York are being asked for their views on how to improve family doctor services in a new survey launched by the Government this week.
Results from the national survey will be used to drive changes to GP services and rewards for GPs who provide fast, convenient services.
This is the third year the Department of Health has run the GP patient survey, which focuses on patients' experiences of visiting a GP.
Survey questionnaires and a covering letter will be sent to 5.7 million people in England registered with GP practices early this month. Reminders will be sent to non-respondents next month and in March.
The final date for receipt of questionnaires is April 13.
