Roslea Save Our Surgery puts together satisfaction survey for patients

by Gráinne Connolly

Patients in Lisnaskea and Roslea are being sruveyed in regards to the GP services at Maple Group Practice in Lisnaskea.

Back in April, the surgery in Roslea was closed down. 

As a result those patients now have to make round trips up to 35 miles to attend Lisnaskea's surgry for appointments, prescriptions etc. 

Practices were also closed in surrounding areas such as Newtonbutler, aswell as Dr Leary's former practice at Lisnaskea. 

This has led to Maple Group Practice having to cater for up to 14,000 patients. 

According to the Roslea Save our Surgery group, some of these patients have been saying that the new practice is too busy that they can't even make an appointment, order prescriptions or even park at the surgery. 

The group is conducting satisfaction surveys to receive feedback from these patients based on the level of healthcare they're getting. 

They're also seeking an urgent joint meeting with Maple staff and the Health and Social Care Board to discuss the increasing difficulties that these patients are facing and to present findings of the survey.
