Patients 'culled' at Trafford medical practice given 30 days to find a new doctor

A number of patients at a medical practice in Trafford have been told they need to find a new doctor due to catchment restrictions.

A letter was sent to patients at Flixton Road Medical Centre in Urmston who don't fall into the practice's M41 postcode catchment area. It informed them that they were now out of reach of the service and would have to find a new medical practice within 30 days.

The letter, dated March 12, said: “Following a review of our registered patients, we note that you are registered to an address that is outside of our M41 catchment area. As a result, the Practice is unable to continue to provide you with medical services and it will be necessary for you to register elsewhere.
