Construction work has now begun on the new health centre at the site of the old Dulwich hospital. The NHS in Southwark is now looking how we can improve the services provided at the new health centre, including general practice services. Find out more about the proposals here - http://www.southwarkccg.nhs.uk/our-plans/improving-services-in-dulwich-and-the-surrounding-areas/stage4/Pages/Developing-our-general-practice-services.aspx


The NHS would like to hear what people think is important about the 8am to 8pm service currently provided at the Lister Health Centre in Peckham and what they would like to see improved.


Please help by completing this short survey by 6 July 2018 - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/28a33015/


If you have already completed the survey, there is an extra question to answer here - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/bd25f94c/


If you require a paper copy, please email [email protected].

The additional question is (in my view) important.


We are considering moving the 8 to 8 service to the new Dulwich Health Centre from 2020, possibly with some 8 to 8 services still provided at the Lister Primary Care Centre in Peckham. Which of the following would you prefer?

- Dulwich

- Dulwich and Lister

- Lister

- Don?t know

Please explain: .....

Note that the version of the survey for users of the Hambleden Clinic or Melbourne Grove surgery


1. Has a closing date of today, 22 June.

2. Is purportedly not just about the 8-to-8 service, and some very general questions, but also has one specific question, number 30, about user preferences in awarding of the new GP contracts at those surgeries after the current ones end on 31 March 2019.


As the CCG's letter of 7 March to users of those surgeries said:


"We would like to tell you more information about this proposal [the move to Dulwich Hospital] and to make sure that your views are taken into account when deciding who manages GP services in your surgery by telling us what you value about the current service and what you would like to see improved. This will help us to choose the most relevant provider and that the decision is in the best interests of patients and staff."


"You can contribute your views in the following ways:"


"** Attend the meeting on 22 March, 6:30-8:00pm at Dulwich Hospital...

** Complete a paper survey which will be available at the meeting or can be sent to you.

** Complete an online survey that will be available after the meeting."


Question 30 is "Is there anything else that you would like us to take into account when making a decision about appointing a new GP services organisation to run your GP surgery?"


I don't think this is a satisfactory way of canvassing or obtaining full opinions about such an important matter as the type of GP practice people want. I do fear it may be the only opportunity proffered. I don't incidentally recollect the question even being raised at the 22 March meeting.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
