GP Practices given ‘permission’ to suspend contact with their PPGs

MarkR 22nd May 2020

I saw the following in the latest NAPP bulletin:

N.A.P.P. has recently been contacted by several PPGs concerned that their GP Practice has suspended contact with them following a letter sent to all GPs on 14 April (C0264-GP-preparedness-letter-14-April-2020.pdf  – see below).

The specific section that concerned some of our members was this:

“Engagement with and review of feedback from Patient Participation Groups (PPG)  – Practices can suspend engaging with and / or reviewing feedback from their PPG and may pause implementing any improvements previously agreed between the practice and the PPG unless, in the contractor’s opinion, those are clinically necessary. Consideration should also be given to stopping any similar local activity that might involve gatherings of potentially vulnerable patients”.

This is the full letter:

    I approached Trinity about this. I was informed that they had not received this letter and if by chance it had been delivered, chances are that it could have been overlooked in the urgent preparations for dealing with the current pandemic. I was assured that the practice wanted to hear from us.

    The requirement for practices to engage with and review feedback from Patient Participation Groups (PPG) was reinstated on 1 July 2020.
