I think that it's good move. I look at it as an introduction to GMP. In my view, all patients should have this and the full GMP.

I did note that it says

"Doctors must be polite and considerate to you and people close to you, and treat you with dignity and respect. You should also be polite and show respect to your doctors".

At least it says that respect is two way street amd respect for patients is carried throug in to the main GMP
