Community leaders and patients have vowed not to take the closure of their GP surgery “lying down” in a show of strength against proposals that could impact thousands of people.
Park View Medical Centre in Tuebrook is scheduled to close its doors in two months' time at the end of its contract with its current medical provider. In a letter seen by the ECHO, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside integrated care board (ICB) earlier this year said efforts had been made to find another provider to manage the practice, “but unfortunately this process has not been successful.”
In a bid to keep the practice open, a patient participation group (PPG) was formed and convened a public meeting at Christ Church on Buckingham Road to discuss a way forward and voice their opposition to the plans.
