Four Calderdale GP practices set to close
Following a decision to close four GP practices within Calderdale, patients are to be moved to alternative practices.
The decision was made following a meeting last week of the NHS Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group’s Commissioning Primary Medical Services Committee, to consider the findings of it’s consultation into the future of Alternative Primary Medical Services contracts in Calderdale.
Dr Steven Cleasby, chair of the CCG, said that following careful consideration, the group had decided that the following GP practices would close:
•Meadow Dale Group Practice at Sowerby Bridge, Ovenden and Elland
•Park and Calder Community Practice, Halifax town centre.
Dr Cleasby stressed that no-one would be left without a doctor following the decisions. “We appreciate that this may be a worrying time for some people, but please be assured that no one will be left without access to GP services.
“We will write again to all affected households with more information on today’s decision and where appropriate, let people know which new GP practice we have registered them with.
“If anyone is unhappy with the practice we match them with, they are free to choose to register with another GP practice that serves their area.
“In the meantime, everyone should continue to book and attend appointments as normal with their current GP practice.”
