Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent Annual Report 2012/13

Report - 28 June 2013

In the city we have 53 GP Surgeries, 122 Care homes (nursing and residential) 70 Pharmacies, 37 Dental Practices, 30 Opticians.

There are particular challenges facing our primary care services at the moment with a significant number of vacancies for GP’s and an aging GP population making it likely that this shortfall will increase.
Social Care, including domiciliary care services (over 1400 people currently access these home care services in the City) are commissioned through Stoke City Council. The local authority works closely with Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust who have responsibility for the community health services in the City.
