Data on patients enrolled at all GP practices, number of visits and booking delays.
Sam Hadley-Jones made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was partially successful.
      From: Sam Hadley-Jones
      
    
    Dear Ministry of Health,
Wait times to see my GP are untenable. I've moved practice twice to reduce booking wait times but only found the situation worse. One practice was 24,000 enrolled patients seen between 4 GPs, at most. I tried to enroll at my local practice but they have 1 GP seeing 6000 patients. If the GP was seeing 3 patients an hour, full time (highly unlikely), that equates to an average of 1 patient visit per year.
I think that the public would be interested to know how our general practice service is performing, if it is getting better or worse and where the problems are.
I would like to see the following dataset:
The total number of GP and nurse practitioner attended consultations, per year for 10 years, per PHO, per practice.
The total number enrolled, per year for 10 years, per PHO, per practice.
The public funding allocated to primary care, per year for 10 years, per PHO.
The public funding allocated to primary care of exclusive groups, per year for 10 years, per PHO.
The PHO reported maximum booking times, per year for 10 years.
Yours faithfully,
Sam Hadley-Jones.
Shannon.
