NHS England together with Ipsos MORI, have published the latest Official Statistics from the GP Patient Survey. The survey provides information on patients’ overall experience of primary care services in England.

The latest survey consisted of around 2.4 million postal questionnaires sent out to adults registered with GP practices in England across two separate waves, from January to March 2015 and again from July to September 2015. Over 854,000 patients completed and returned a questionnaire, resulting in a national response rate of 35.7%.

The majority of patients (84.9%) rate their overall experience of their GP surgery as good, with more than two in five (42.7%) rating their experience as ‘very good’.
