The report is intended to provide feedback in relation to the closure of the walk in clinic. The information was collected using a 5 question survey which includes comments from the general public. 98 letters were sent out to the patients who had visited the Weston Church Walk In Service between 1st July 2014 and 30th November 2015. From these 98 patients Healthwatch received 23 completed questionnaires which equates to a 23.4% response rate.
The main issue for the patients who responded was transport. For the frail and elderly there is Dial a Ride or Bath Community Transport. From the research conducted the elderly patients are attending the main surgery more than Weston Walk In with the exception of 1 patient. Other issues around chaperones and staff safety for lone working were taken on board/
