YouGov Report: Patients Want Quality Care On Their Doorstep
August 16, 2004 12:00 AM
Today's YouGov Report, which found that patients are unhappy with changes in GPs' working patterns, proves that what people really want is access to quality health care on their doorstep, the Liberal Democrats said today.
GPs are becoming more distanced from their patients, compromising continuity of care, according to the opinion poll.
Paul Burstow MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, said:
"This report shows that what patients really want is access to quality health care on their doorstep. Instead of chasing around after political targets, doctors should be allowed to focus on providing proper care to their individual patients.
"The new GP contract was the end of the one stop shop for local health care. Patients will now inevitably go to different places for different types of care. It is essential that local health trusts and GPs make the most of the changes to the system to provide easier access to good quality care for all patients."
