14 members of The New Queen Street Surgery Patients Participation Group attended Mondays meeting (Agenda previously published) Another very lively debate took place as you would imagine around getting appointments, this topic is always raised.
The answer we receive is always the same –
There is no more funding available for more Doctors.
One question I asked :- Can I book a private appointment/consultation with a Doctor at NQS – the answer was NO.
Can I obtain a private precription from NQS – the answer NO
I am sure I can speak for everyone for NQS PPG on hearing that the Chair – Alison Bacon
will be ‘retiring’ as Chair at the next meeting, a big thank you to Alison, who like myself has ‘hung it out’ with the NQS PPG since its inception, she will remain as a member.
Note: I have been informed that the PPG meetings are NOT public meetings, in order to attend the meetings – you would have to register as a member.
If you would like to become a member – contact me – and I will forward onto the Secretary.
