Coverage and quality of patient participation groups: a mixed-methods analysis of Care Quality Commission reports
Practices in the most deprived areas were significantly less likely to have a PPG (<i>P</i> = 0.006), and their PPGs engaged in different activities compared with those in the least deprived areas. This may exacerbate inequalities as PPGs are one mechanism to support patient participation and improve general practice quality and experience.
