Priority Project One – Access to Primary Care – GP
A priority project for 2022/23 is exploring The patient experience of accessing primary care services – this report gives an insight to initial findings.

Healthwatch Sandwell found residents of Sandwell regularly express frustrations with obtaining G.P. Surgery appointments and there are not enough G.P. appointments available to meet daily demand. Appointment allocation is on a first come, first served basis which may create inequalities in access for patients and not attend to patients with the highest health needs.
