JM tabled the Standard Reporting Template, which is specific documentation covering a PPG, is
required to be submitted annually to NHS England Contracts Team and displayed on the Practice
website. JM stated that Procurement (of Services) for the full contract was now a priority and
patients’ views were obtained via Friends and Family cards, ongoing verbal polling of patients
following consultations and via the PPG process. Feedback from these is overwhelmingly
positive. JM agreed that the document would be resubmitted with a clarification to the final
section.
JM and JR attended an NHS England review meeting, with positive reports. A new procurement
process is to be introduced. Wider patient involvement would be appreciated.
The surgery now has a full complement of doctors.
Progress (near future): From April 2nd patients will be able to register their interest in booking
on-line appointments and will have limited access to their own records. In April there will be
direct electronic forwarding of prescriptions to the pharmacy.

AOB, Meeting Management Notes and Conclusions It was agreed that Minutes would contain a
sufficient record of patient representative attendees, to allow an adequate indication of the
meeting provenance and quorum, but (in order to respect patient confidentiality and privacy), not
give full names. The Minutes would be emailed to all members of the PPG following review by
the Chairman (and others, as considered appropriate) and subsequently placed on PPG
noticeboard and web site. Communications between the practice management and patient
representatives would normally be via the Chairman. The date of the next meeting was agreed
and noted below.
Next Meeting: Venue for Meeting 06 is Wednesday 6th May 2015, 18:15 to 19:30, Surgery
Waiting Room.
