The latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, asked people across the county what they think about different aspects of their care – including the appointment booking process.
Practices have been ranked according to the percentage of patients who rated their overall experience of booking an appointment as either poor or fairly poor.
These are the 11 doctor’s surgeries in Chesterfield and Derbyshire with the worst ratings for the overall experience of booking appointments.
