The service regularly monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities stats from June 2024 show that, the percentage of persons eligible for cervical cancer screening who were screened adequately within 3.5 years for persons aged 25 to 49 was 59% which was below the 80% national average. The number of women in this age group who have had an adequate screening test within the last 5.5 years as a percentage of the eligible population aged 50 to 64 years old was 73% which was below the 80% target. The percentage of children aged 5 who have received immunisation for measles, mumps and rubella (two doses of MMR) was 85% in comparison to the WHO (World Health Organisation) target of 95%. The practice, as result of this feedback have started a Saturday nurse clinic with the PCN to be able to grant patients more appointments for vaccines. There is also an active recall system for those that have not attended or responded to appointments for their vaccines.
