Patients in an area of Liverpool have vowed not to give up the fight to protect their GP surgery, which is facing closure.
Under new proposals, in three months time Park View Medical Centre on Orphan Drive, Tuebrook, will close its doors to residents after the end of its contract with its current medical provider. In a letter seen by the ECHO, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside said efforts had been made to find another provider to manage the practice, “but unfortunately this process has not been successful.”
Members of Park View patient participation group came together at Christ Church on Buckingham Road to discuss a way forward. Chair Jimmy Woods said the group would need “as much support as we can get” but vowed: “We need to have a go here, there’s plenty we can do to keep going.”
