Fully reopen NHS Highparks Medical Practice, Wainscott, Kent from October 2021

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Ask Medway clinical commissioning group to demand Highparks Medical Practice fully reopen the Doctors surgery after 18 months of closure.

The surgery has been sending people to surgeries 3 to 5 miles away where without a car you cannot easily get to. Our purpose built modern surgery which part of our local park was given up to build it in appears to be using every reason it can to avoid reopening and offering face to face consultations following a merger with two other practices. Local people are going undiagnosed due to not being able to attend the other distant practices.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

Decisions on what services to offer face-to-face are an operational matter for NHS Trusts and Practices, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You may wish to contact your local MP about this issue, if you haven't already done so. You can find out who your MP is and their contact details at:
