link to comment on GP/hospital/health/care services


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd put this up for anyone who wants to feedback on their experience of

health services. (Sorry I know I said link but not sure how to put a link in! Anyone else?!)


The people to give comments to are:


Care Quality Commission

www.cqc.org.uk


There is a very simple form at the top of their page to fill in - takes minutes (you can do it while still waiting on the phone to get through to a GP!) - They will then collate feedback when assessing the quality of care that is offered.

How about empowering the many GPs who have issues with local people?


1. Being late or failing to turn up for appointments

2. Being rude/offensive/violent

3. Demanding prescription paracetamol

4. Demanding home visits because they can't be bothered to get a bus

5. Trying to fit five ailments into a ten minute appointment

6. Not being ill just wanting a day off work

7. Making a vexatious complaint about the GP

You make a very good point, Captain Marvel.


I filled in (another) customer survey recently and for the first time in ages was able to give full marks and glowing praise - and it was for my local GP surgery, where the doctors and nurses and staff are all excellent!

Only one that could ever effect me is this - I suppose people have googled and think the ailments are linked - I'm always watching for diabetes signs and they are varied.


GP's must know about ailment googlers though.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
