But it appears that the vast majority of us are happy with how our local practice operates, according to the latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos MORI on behalf of NHS England. The survey contacted 2.3 million people to gather information on how patients feel about their local GP and it reveals the best and worst surgeries in Yorkshire and beyond. Surgeries are ranked by the proportion of patients that said they were 'very good'.
1. Dr Mitchell's North Ferriby GP Practice
Ranked second out of the entire country and top in Yorkshire, 95 per cent of respondents rated the surgery as 'very good'
2. Longroyde Surgery
This surgery, in Rastrick, Calderdale, got a very good rating from nine out of 10 people who responded to the survey
