No comment on future of walk-in and GP services at controversial centre

Surbiton.com: March 6, 2015 - 5:00am

Health bosses are refusing to discuss their reviews of GP care and walk-in services at a controversial health centre, and what they mean for patients.

The Gosbury Hill clinic in Hook opened in a storm of controversy in 2010, following arguments about whether walk-in services should even be there.

Patients and others have long said they should be housed elsewhere. That location, it is understood, could now be the new Surbiton Health Centre – but health commissioners claimed they could not discuss details of the plans because of the upcoming general election.

This week NHS England, which runs the GP contracts at neighbouring surgeries, also revealed it would make decisions this year about their future.

Kingston and Surbiton MP Edward Davey said he backed moving the walk-in clinic to Surbiton, but would not support moving GP services there.

However, documents seen by the Surrey Comet show that NHS England, the CCG and the walk-in service provider all agree the clinic should be moved, possibly as early as September.
