A GP practice has lost its contract to treat patients after years of problems - including a fraudster manager who swiped £580,000 to feed her gambling habit.
Staff at Failsworth Group Practice, in Oldham, were told by the clinical commissioning group that its contract was being terminated on January 28, leaving 12,000 registered patients in limbo as they await a permanent switch to a new surgery.
The decision comes after watchdog reports outlined major problems at the practice, including missed diagnoses which could mean more than 170 people were never told they had potentially life-altering kidney disease, ManchesterEveningNews reports.
