Improving Local GP Surgeries

Suzanne Webb MP at Lion Health

In 2022 I launched my GP Surgeries Survey to hear from you directly about your views and experiences of GP surgeries. 

I would like to thank everyone who completed my survey. I appreciate you sharing your views on this important topic.

From your comments and experiences, I understand the main issues facing local residents when trying to access GP services in the constituency and the challenges people in Stourbridge have faced regarding GP appointments.

I firmly believe that GP surgeries should offer timely and accessible appointments so that patients can see their GP in the way that they want, which is why I have raised this issue with local GP surgeries and in Parliament.

On this page you can find out more about my campaign to improve local GP services, including the results of my survey, parliamentary speeches, and updates.

Lion Health Meeting

I have visited Lion Health GP practice to discuss patient care, phone lines and to meet with staff.

I spoke to practice manager Wayne Gardner, partner doctor Glenys Wilson and Jag Tomlinson from the Independent Care Board.

Getting vaccinated at the Elton Centre

I am urging everyone eligible to get their Covid booster and flu jabs this winter.

I recently went to the Elton Centre in Stourbridge for my jabs that are free and available for everyone over 50.

Improving Access to GP Surgeries

I know that a number of residents have experienced difficulties booking appointments and accessing test results at their GP surgery. 

That is why today I asked the Health Secretary about what more can be done to improve GP surgeries’ accessibility.
