    23% of service users reported that they would have approached a healthcare provider for support if Holme Farm was not available. This included 18% who said they would approach their GP, 10% mental health services, 2% local hospital, 2% NHS community teams, 2% 111 and <1% 999. Guests were able to select multiple sources of support they would have approached, so responses are not mutually exclusive. (n=250)
