A state-of-the-art doctors clinic remains closed without any GPs more than a year after it was built because of ‘contract negotiations’, a Bolton councillor claims.
Work on Little Lever Health Centre, which cost £5 million to build, was completed in December 2021. The 1,206 sqm building features three GP surgeries and 14 consultation rooms alongside a separate library, which opened in February 2022.
But doctor’s have yet to move into the facility and begin treating patients. Independent councillor Sean Hornby said he was ‘annoyed’ with the slow progress after he'd ‘fought like mad’ to secure money for the clinic.
