A surgery in Wales says it will have to close if it is unable to recruit GPs. Borth Surgery in Ceredigion says it has been trying to recruit GPs for a number of years and has done 'everything it possibly can to make the practice viable.'
Th surgery said the doctors working there have announced "with a heavy heart" that the surgery will have to close unless it is able to recruit additional GPs. A statement posted to the surgery's Facebook page said that one of the doctors currently works one day a week, looking after diabetics and another doctor when she is off.
Another doctor "does the rest with support from other health care professionals", but the surgery has said that this is unsustainable, adding that "the ship is sinking". The post continues: "We have been looking for new GPs for several years now and have had some doctors interested only to find out in the end they have decided to go elsewhere. This has now happened again."
