A STUDY has been launched to discover the impact GP surgery closures and changes to patient transport services have had on people in Brighton and Hove.

The second Brighton Citizens Health Services Survey is focusing on the loss of four GP practices in the city by the end of this year and the closure of two others last year.

It will also look at the effect of the disruption caused by the problems that have dogged the county-wine non emergency patient transport service since it was taken over by private firm Coperforma in April.

The results will be analysed by a team from the University of Brighton and made public to inform the clinical commissioning group and city council of any disparities between their commissioning decisions and what the people of Brighton and Hove want.
