Disclaimer: These observations are not the ‘official’ minutes of the meeting, these are supplied by The PPG and will appear on The Lakeside/NQS website.
The New Queen Street Surgury Patients Participation Group (PPG) held their AGM last night at the NQS Surgery.
A very rubust questioning of (2) Doctors present left no doubt of the ‘unhappiness’ of the Group.
Lack of communication and inter-action for the past 12 months was the main thrust of everyone present.
Dr Dan, ‘tried’ to explain some of the very demanding ‘challenges’ the Surgery has and is facing – both with demand for services and recruiting key staff.
I was pleased to see FDC Leader & WTC Councillor Chris Boden in attendance
(first occasion) with his knowledge of sitting on many committee’s within Cambs Health Services.
The AGM proved just as challenging with current Chair Mr Bernard Grey-Esson informing he was planning to stand-down on the 31st December.
Secretary Mrs Ann Mason also standing down as Secretary.
After another well balanced discussion on the future of Whittlesey NQS PPG along with what might happen too and with the possible amalgamation with The Stanground Surgery PPG – it was decided to put everything on hold until Stanground have their next meeting on 06th December.
It would ‘appear’ there are still significant issues/challenges happening at The New Queen Street Surgery.
