98% satisfied in annual survey

The majority of patients are happy with the care they receive from the Island's Community Health Services.

That's according to results from a recent annual survey.

Participants were asked about the helpfulness of staff and delays in treatment.

There was also room for patients to add their own comments.

The results from July 2015 to July 2016 showed 98 per cent of patients indicated a high level of satisfaction.

Services include district nursing, community dental services and podiatry.
