The 2018 questionnaire was significantly redeveloped ahead of fieldwork to reflect changes to primary care services in England as set out in the GP Forward View. The questionnaire development report outlines these changes and how these changes were agreed.

Trends are not presented this year, even where question wording remains similar. This is because the changes to the questionnaire impacted not just the new or amended individual questions but the questions around them ('context effects'). Analysis has found that these changes, together with the inclusion of 16 and 17 year olds, mean that the results are not comparable for most questions. For more information on the impact of these changes, please refer to the Technical Annex.

Why is data sometimes suppressed?

In cases where fewer than 10 people have answered the question, the data has been suppressed. This is to prevent individuals and their responses being identifiable in the data.

In the weighted results, there are some cases where this suppression is also applied to questions where the total number of responses is 10. This is again due to rounding. If the total number of responses when weighted is less than 10 (e.g. 9.856), but has been rounded to 10 in the report, then the data will be suppressed. If the weighted total number of responses is, for example, 10.245, then the total number of responses will also show as 10 but the responses will be shown.

GP Patient Survey 2018: seeking your feedback on possible questionnaire changes

Why is the questionnaire changing?

There are many changes currently being made to GP services. These changes are set out in the GP Forward View, which outlines NHS England’s vision for primary care. These changes include, but are not limited to, offering appointments in extended hours, and providing new ways for people to access GP services. These changes will affect how patients and the public experience their local services, and as such we need to ensure that the GP Patient Survey (GPPS) remains relevant in this context, and continues to ask about the right things and in the right way. As a consequence, questions across the survey may be modified, removed or replaced. While we intend to retain questions that are widely used and which remain relevant where possible, it should be noted that wider changes to the questionnaire mean that we cannot be certain that data trends will be maintained.

As this is a good opportunity to take stock, as well as anticipating changes to the ‘GP Access’ questions (Q1-Q20), we also anticipate considering other improvements to the survey. This will include the sections of the questionnaire that deal with ‘Managing your health,’ ‘Your state of health today,’ and ‘Planning your care’ (Q30-Q39). This is so that we can get a better understanding of how local care services are supporting patients to live well, particularly patients with long-term care needs.

However, the questionnaire as a whole is under review, so please take this into account when providing feedback.

In this context, GPPS data users are invited to give any comments they may have about proposed changes to the questionnaire.
