Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 356

Received: 20/01/2017

Respondent: Hampton-in-Arden Surgery

Representation Summary:

There is no clear mention of primary care provision. Our surgery is very small and has a 1.5 full time doctor equivalent. Our practice area covers much of the proposed sites. We have 3000 patients between the 1.5 doctors, which is already above the national average. Any significant increase on this would seriously undermine our ability to provide safe and timely healthcare to the new residents unless we could procure funding to increase the staff ( both medical and administrative) at the surgery to cope with the huge increase in demand for appointments and care.
