At  each committee meeting spending requests from the surgery staff are discussed. During the past 6 months the following have been purchased for the benefit of both patients and staff.

• Publication of the May newsletter to patients
• A free-standing picnic bench for the Parent & Baby Group
• 3 fabric holsters for patients needing palliative care
• A spirometer costing £2000. Very useful for the diagnosis of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) which is currently underdiagnosed at the surgery.
• Outdoor furniture for the use of groups attached to the surgery and for surgery events
• Paediatric Pulse Oximeter for children.
• We are currently negogiating the installation of an Induction Hearing Loop for the Reception area and the Education room. This will clearly benefit patients with impaired hearing.
