Doing a little bit of market research for my dh here!!
His practice has just been ctiticised by the local health council, and they are a bit upset about it. Basically, the health council think that the two docs (dh and his partner) live too far away from the surgery to provide a good service.
So - how quickly would you think a doctor should come to see you in (1) A life threatening emergency (2) a Serious situation and (3) for a routine house call out of hours. In fact, how many of you get house calls at all, and, out of hours, are you covered by a call centre (cooperative cover by several practices) or by your own GP?
We are a bit hurt by this criticism as he works really hard and we have chosen not to live next door to the surgery as we don't want people turning up at the door at all times of the day and night (as happened to the previous doc - who said 'Under no circumstances live close to the surgery!!)
Thanks for your input!
