Construction work has now begun on the new health centre at the site of the old Dulwich hospital. The NHS in Southwark is now looking how we can improve the services provided at the new health centre, including general practice services. Find out more about the proposals here - http://www.southwarkccg.nhs.uk/our-plans/improving-services-in-dulwich-and-the-surrounding-areas/stage4/Pages/Developing-our-general-practice-services.aspx


The NHS would like to hear what people think is important about the 8am to 8pm service currently provided at the Lister Health Centre in Peckham and what they would like to see improved.


Please help by completing this short survey by 6 July 2018 - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/28a33015/


If you have already completed the survey, there is an extra question to answer here - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/bd25f94c/


If you require a paper copy, please email souccg.southwark-ccg@nhs.net.

The additional question is (in my view) important.


We are considering moving the 8 to 8 service to the new Dulwich Health Centre from 2020, possibly with some 8 to 8 services still provided at the Lister Primary Care Centre in Peckham. Which of the following would you prefer?

- Dulwich

- Dulwich and Lister

- Lister

- Don?t know

Please explain: .....

Note that the version of the survey for users of the Hambleden Clinic or Melbourne Grove surgery


1. Has a closing date of today, 22 June.

2. Is purportedly not just about the 8-to-8 service, and some very general questions, but also has one specific question, number 30, about user preferences in awarding of the new GP contracts at those surgeries after the current ones end on 31 March 2019.


As the CCG's letter of 7 March to users of those surgeries said:


"We would like to tell you more information about this proposal [the move to Dulwich Hospital] and to make sure that your views are taken into account when deciding who manages GP services in your surgery by telling us what you value about the current service and what you would like to see improved. This will help us to choose the most relevant provider and that the decision is in the best interests of patients and staff."


"You can contribute your views in the following ways:"


"** Attend the meeting on 22 March, 6:30-8:00pm at Dulwich Hospital...

** Complete a paper survey which will be available at the meeting or can be sent to you.

** Complete an online survey that will be available after the meeting."


Question 30 is "Is there anything else that you would like us to take into account when making a decision about appointing a new GP services organisation to run your GP surgery?"


I don't think this is a satisfactory way of canvassing or obtaining full opinions about such an important matter as the type of GP practice people want. I do fear it may be the only opportunity proffered. I don't incidentally recollect the question even being raised at the 22 March meeting.

    • Yes. I had already offered to do so  some time ago if you are not able to do this yourself. Monica is not in there every day, and it is holiday season at the moment. I will try to catch up with her in the next few weeks. I assume there is no hurry as this has been dragging on for so long. I will find out whether there was more than one key holder, or whether there was one for every notice board. Also whether the same key (or copies of the same key)  was used for each board. I will also find out how Monica  liaised with the relevant people on the council and what their job titles were I will ask what system there was for ensuring that only neutral and non commercial information is displayed on the boards, for getting that information and for updating it. Before I speak to Monica, it would be helpful to know if jellybeanz is offering to be the key holder for all the noticeboards and keep them up to date, or alternatively if anybody else apart from jellybeanz is willing to have a key. Please private message me if you prefer. I should make it clear that I am not offering to be a key holder or to be involved in this any further than I have outlined above. And also that I am not "getting a key". I am just finding out more from Monica. I feel that it would have been helpful to have addressed these practical issues at the outset.
    • I'm an air conditioning installer - this is everything you need to know about getting it fitted https://mol.im/a/14875047 via https://dailym.ai/android   This may be helpful (sorry it's the Daily Mail!)
    • I don’t want the gatekeepers/key holders deciding what or what doesn’t merit being on the board. It’s for council/municipal information only. It’s not right that commercial or political parties or social campaigners be allowed to take advantage of such a facility. So, if the key holder can work with the relevant councillor/s, this would be a great idea. If not, it woudn’t. 
    • Good idea - Sue are you happy to speak to the owner of Health Matters? Thanks
