Please tell us how we could improve our services:

Improve

waiting times

•Less waiting time•Less waiting time as last time I waited more than 2 hours•Not having to wait for such a long time. More doctors/nurses employed to improve waiting time

•Not to wait so long!•Really annoying that I waited nearly 2 hours to be told there was no family planning. Fuming!!

•Reduce waiting times. Appointment times for contraception that is ongoing, like the pill or depo then that wouldn't affect walk in and would reduce waiting times.

•Shorter wait, but apart from that everything was fantastic!•Time•Waited 2 hours to be then told no doctor in. Should of been told on arrival.

More staff

WILBERFORCE

GOOLE•Receiving results quicker•Information on diet for pregnancy

•The waiting times can be ridiculous sometimes•Shorter waiting times
