Dear <<FIRST NAME>><<Surname>>

Can you spare five minutes to tell us about your GP Services?

A few weeks ago I sent you a letter asking you to take part in the Scottish GP Patient Access Survey but we have not yet received your response. I would be grateful if you could take the time to fill in this short survey.

The term " GP" refers to a General Practitioner or family doctor.

The survey is designed to collect information on how easy it is for people to see or speak to a doctor or nurse for medical advice at their surgery.

I understand that your GP surgery is << GP prac name >>, << GP prac Loc>>.

I would like you to answer the questions about your experiences with this GP surgery.

Please refer to the most recent time you contacted your GP surgery either for yourself or for someone else who is registered at the same surgery.

Your individual answers are completely confidential and will not be seen by anybody at your surgery or Health Board.

There is more information about the survey overleaf and on the survey website at www.scotland.gov.uk/GPAccess

If you have any more questions or need help filling in the survey, please contact the GP Patient Access Survey Helpline on [0845 602 6948- all calls are charged at local rate] (Monday to Friday, 1pm to 7pm; Saturday, 11am to 5pm).

If you have already sent back your completed questionnaire, thank you very much for doing this and please accept my apologies for sending this reminder.

Thank you very much for your time.

Yours sincerely,

-PLEASE TURN OVER-
