Perth and Kinross GPs are considering cancelling their summer holidays because they cannot get locum doctors to cover for them.
A health chief made the revelation as Perth and Kinross Integration Joint Board (IJB) met on Tuesday, May 30 to agree the closure of Invergowrie Medical Practice to patients.
When the IJB’s vice-chair councillor Colin Stewart suggested appointing a locum GP as an option for Invergowrie, he was told finding a locum GP was “nigh on impossible”.
