Download (PDF 255.09 KB)Summary of report content
This report has been produced by Healthwatch Lincolnshire to highlight the patient, carer and service user health and care experiences shared
with us for the period 1 to 31 May 2017.
During this period we received a total number of 151 experiences, 53 of these have been posted directly to our feedback centre (to read
individual comments regarding individual providers please visit www.healthwatchlincolnshire.co.uk and select relevant provider details), with
the remaining 98 being contained in this report.
Healthwatch Lincolnshire has consistently over the past 3 years reported concerns raised with us by patients about length of waits to get an
appointment with their GP. In May Healthwatch Lincolnshire have again received a number of comments on this subject but the situation appears to be getting worse.
Contained within this report is also some very informative feedback from a service user group with regards to various access issues at Pilgrim
Hospital. Learning through user experiences such as this is very useful and maybe something other providers would benefit from.
