Complaints
We make every effort to give the best service possible to everyone who attends our practice.
We are aware that things can go wrong, sometimes resulting in a patient feeling that they have a genuine cause for a complaint. If this is so, we would wish for the matter to be settled as quickly, and as amicably, as possible.
To pursue a complaint please contact the complaints lead, and they will deal with your concerns appropriately Please either telephone 01622 842212 or email kmicb.suttonvalence@nhs.net
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman website contains detailed information on raising a complaint about any aspect of the NHS in England. There is also a leaflet explaining the procedure of bringing a complaint to the ombudsman.
GP Net Earnings
GP Net Earnings
All GP Practices are required to declare the mean earnings (eg. average pay) for GP’s working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice and should not be used for any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparisons with other practices.
The average pay for GP’s working in the Sutton Valence Group Practice in the last financial year was £64,526 before Tax and National Insurance. This is for 2 full time GP’s and 3 part time GP’s who worked in the practice for more than six months.
