It has been in the local newspaper that the surgery will have to close due to funding cuts and struggling to find new premises although it has been stated that the funding is there and this could have been resolved.
Although it was made aware in the media just recently that the NHS are giving GPS more funding! Empty builds in the town patients worried and funding gone it is despicable that the strain will land with 2 surgeries all ready stretched to the limits!
