Rural GP's outperforming urban GP's in east Lancashire

In response to several enquiries in Hyndburn about GP's, the PCT and soon to be Clinical Commissioning Group have published online GP scorecards for East Lancashire rating each GP practice.

You can see from the PCT's data that GP's in the rural areas offer a much better service than those in urban areas. Hyndburn's GP scorecards are particularly disappointing.  

I have spoken with the CCG about this and they assure me everything is being done to improve the GP scorecards for urban east Lancashire. 

Please find below the final headline version of the Practice Development Framework: GP Scorecard for 2010/11. The Scorecard can be viewed as a full document (follow link below) covering all GP practices within NHS East Lancashire. Alternatively, the Scorecard can be viewed by the following localities:

Obviously it is disappointing that Hyndburn GP's have lower scores and I have raised this matter on several occasions with the PCT and now the new GP's CCG. They assure me much is being done to raise standards including GP's moving into better facilities in the Acorn and Accrington Pals centres.
