NE Herts MP Oliver Heald has called on E&N Herts CCG to explain more fully future plans for GPs in Buntingford. Oliver has been contacted by a number of local residents who are concerned that the Orchard Surgery is to close and whether there will be adequate GP cover in the town for existing and new residents.
Sir Oliver was contacted by Alan Pond, Deputy Chief Executive of the CCG, several weeks ago to explain that there were plans to expand capacity at Buntingford Health Centre and with the other practice in the town.
Commenting, Oliver Heald said: ‘I have been told that there is a plan to ensure expansion of GP services in Buntingford so that all patients can be catered for and I believe it would be helpful if the CCG could make further information available as soon as possible.’
