Results from an annual survey rating GPs and surgeries across Sutton - by patients - have been revealed.

The GP Patient Survey asks residents for their opinions on the practices they are registered across the country.

This ranges from how easy it is to get through to someone, how helpful receptionists are at the practice, to how accessible their online services are.

In Sutton, 7,680 questionnaires were sent out by the NHS Sutton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) – resulting in a response rate of 35 percent.

Around 87 percent of patients rated their overall experience of GP practices as ‘good’, which is above the national average that stands at 84 percent.

A total of nine practices – out of 25 – scored above 90 percent when patients said their practice was ‘good’.

Another 17 were rated either at or above the Sutton CCG average of 87 percent.

Both Carshalton Fields Surgery as well as the Well Court Practice, or the James O'Riordan Medical Centre, tied for the highest rating at 94 percent.

This was followed by Shotfield Medical Practice (94 percent), Hackbridge Medical Centre (91), and Dr Muktar and Dr Ali-Sangary (91).
