Friday, 20 November 2015 00:00

97 per cent of Manx patients are content with their GP practice.

The Department of Health and Social Care commissioned a survey to find out what people thought about things like making appointments and nursing care.

Around 10 per cent of the Island’s population took part - drawing a return rate of 32 per cent.

Health and Social Care Minister Howard Quayle has said feedback will dictate how the service looks to the future.

There are ongoing surveys online for anyone looking to suggest improvements.
