To receive Report No. 29/2022 from Councillor Paul Ainsley, Chair of the Primary Care Task & Finish Group

Report No. 29/2022 was received from Councillor Paul Ainsley, Chair of the Primary Care Task & Finish Group.  During the discussion, the following points were noted:

·       Over 900 responses were received as part of the patient survey which had been undertaken via leaflet distribution, face-to-face meetings and telephone conversations as well as online.

·       The Task and Finish Group was still collating information for publication in the final report.

·       The final report would detail recommendations and proposed actions for each committee before being presented to the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board and Council. 

·       The feedback from patients differed between the various medical practices and had been very informative.

·       The preliminary report had been distributed to the medical practices, the ICS and the LLR CCG.

·       The Committee thanked the 900+ members of the public for completing the survey and giving a comprehensive view of the community feeling regarding accessing primary care services.

·       Councillor Ainsley confirmed that no demographic information had been taken regarding the survey participants so no analysis could be done regarding how different age groups etc accessed the primary care services and no information had been gathered regarding the Winter Access Fund.
