77 people responded.
The greatest proportion of respondents stated that they would turn to their own medication cupboard if they needed to get medical help for them or for someone else quickly if the situation was not immediately life threatening or not severe.
However, nearly all respondents reported having used A&E and just over half of these said it was not for a life-threatening emergency.
Some of the key barriers highlighted regarding access to services include:
- difficulty contacting and making appointments
- lack of shared records between different NHS services
- waiting times”
