PATIENTS RIGHTS

As a patient you have the right to express in writing a preference to receive services from a particular GP, (as stated in clause 185 of the new GMS contract). The Contractor (Loch Ree, Lochnaw or Lochinch practice) shall endeavour to comply with any preference but need not do so if they have reasonable grounds for refusing to provide services to the patient, or does not routinely perform the service in question within the practice.
