How the data is gathered:

The proportion of people who responded to the GP patient survey who felt that they could get an appointment when they wanted one. The data are taken from the GP Patient Survey which is sent out twice a year to around 1.36 million adults who are registered with a GP in England. The results of the survey for each GP practice are weighted to adjust the data to account for potential differences between the demographic profile of all eligible patients in a practice and the patients who actually complete a questionnaire. More information about the survey can be found at the GP Patient Survey website: http://www.gp-patient.co.uk/faq/weighting/
