Save our Surgeries

For the most up to date information on this threat to you, please visit the Save our Surgeries web site.

The Government is threatening severe funding cuts to GP Practices which may harm patient care.

Unless we take action now, GP Practices will cease to exist in their present form in the near future, patient care could be at risk and you will lose a vital service that has traditionally been a part of our community.

If you feel this is worth fighting for, contact your local MP and make your views known.

DISPENSING SURGERIES ARE UNDER THREAT

The Government proposes to amend the rules on where patients can have their medication dispensed. This will remove choice, make life harder for the elderly, the disabled and those without transport or who rely on (rural) public transport.

Act Now

For your convenience and awareness, here is a summary of the changes that will effect you.

Further Information

More detail is available at the Department of Health web site and a response form for you to express your views. In particular, please respond to Q20 - Q27.
