A GROUP of Swindon's councillors is to find out what people think of the provision of GP surgeries and dentists in Swindon.

A scrutiny task group of five councillors has been formed to carry out a detailed assessment on the subject.

Coun Stan Pajak, chair of the task group said: "The Local GP is the cornerstone of the health service and therefore the ease of finding and registering with a GP is crucial in how we feel about the area we live."
