This survey was carried out by the Scottish Government with the purpose of measuring the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) indicators for patient experience of access.
2010/11 GP Access Survey
The 2010/11 GP access survey surveyed patients at GP practices that opted into the survey. Only practices that did not obtain full QOF points in 2009/10 were offered the chance to participate. Practices that did not participate in the survey will receive the same points as in 2009/10.
