Wood Green residents are unhappy with the state of the NHS, with significant numbers of residents reporting serious problems finding a local GP or a dentist, according to the results of a survey by the local Lib Dems.

In addition to the findings, which reveal that more than one in five residents face difficulty in securing these vital primary care services, almost half, 47% say they are unhappy with the state of the local NHS.

Lib Dem Parliamentary spokesperson, Lynne Featherstone comments:

“These figures show a worrying lack of confidence in the NHS and reveal genuine problems in securing essential dental and general practice care.It is worrying to see that local GP services appear as overstretched as NHS dentistry in Wood Green. If the front line of the service is failing to meet patients’ needs to this degree, the NHS will only have to pay later for more serious problems.”
