Comments, complaints and compliments
The CCG places great priority on knowing what patients think of the services it commissions. The CCG’s patient experience team works with patients and patient groups to get information on the experiences, good and bad, that Bexley residents have of local healthcare services.
Call the patient experience team from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on free phone 0800 328 9712.
