Summary
Miss C complained about three consultations with three of the GPs at her medical practice as she did not feel the questions asked by the GPs had been appropriate. We took independent advice from one of our GP advisers, who considered that the questions and actions of Miss C's GPs had been thorough and appropriate. For example, when Miss C reported an episode of self-harm, the GP appropriately asked, amongst other things, about her support network at home.
