Health - redesign of urgent care: evaluation - technical report

Technical report to support the redesign of urgent care evaluation main report.


8 Patient Survey Results Tables

Please note: the counts (‘Number’) presented in these frequency tables are weighted counts, with the exception of the number of services contacted in addition to NHS 24 111 and caller type (Tables 46 and 47). Please note where weighting is applied, the total counts will not add up to the same number as the number of respondents (662) due to the weighting scheme applied. Unless stated otherwise, respondents were invited to answer all questions in the patient survey. If any of the response options had fewer than 5 responses (based on unweighted counts) the weighted counts have been suppressed and replaced with an asterisk (*). Further suppression considerations were also applied if necessary (i.e., if only one response category had fewer than five responses, the next highest response category was also suppressed to prevent potential identification).

Tables 42 to 45: Patient reported experience, by NHS 24 endpoint - Positive scores.

Please note: The significance test[14] is run on the positive scores[15] between the sample overall and the individual breakdowns. Where an arrow pointing upwards or downwards is included, it means the breakdown score is significantly better (upwards arrow) or worse (downwards arrow) compared to the equivalent score for the sample overall with a 95% confidence interval. The base sizes in the tables (e.g., comparator group n = 662), refers to the total number of eligible respondents for each group but do not account for the potential for some respondents to skip questions, meaning the actual number of responses to a question is likely to be marginally lower.

Where there are less than 11 responses to a question, the respective scores are suppressed and replaced with an asterisk (*).

Note that there were none or too few respondents who had one of the following NHS recorded endpoints for comparisons to be made by these groups: contact midwife, contact optician, dental, distress brief intervention, other professional, pharmacy, pre-prioritised or not assigned.
