Rejected petition Fully reopen NHS Highparks Medical Practice, Wainscott, Kent from October 2021

Ask Medway clinical commissioning group to demand Highparks Medical Practice fully reopen the Doctors surgery after 18 months of closure.

More details

The surgery has been sending people to surgeries 3 to 5 miles away where without a car you cannot easily get to. Our purpose built modern surgery which part of our local park was given up to build it in appears to be using every reason it can to avoid reopening and offering face to face consultations following a merger with two other practices. Local people are going undiagnosed due to not being able to attend the other distant practices.
