PEOPLE in West Devon are being reminded to have their say on when and where they want to see their GP.

The Government is looking at ways to remove catchment areas so that people can choose the GP practice that best suits them.

A questionnaire is available on the Department of Health website at http://www.GPchoice.dh.gov.uk">www.GPchoice.dh.gov.uk

Gill Munday, NHS Devon's primary care manager, said: 'We know that most people want a GP practice that is close to their own home but realise some may find it difficult if they work full-time out of the area where they live. At the moment, people chose a GP close to where they live.

'We are asking people to tell us what would influence them in registering at a practice, whether it is longer opening hours, location or the services available.'
