Rejected petition: Ask the NHS to put GP's and NHS Dentists in the new King's Lynn South Health Hub
Rejected on
The new South Lynn Health Hub, built with £11.5 million NHS " Wave 4B" funding for Doctors Surgeries, has support & secondary care, but no GP's. South Lynn, in the 20% most deprived communities, has significantly worse health outcomes than national. Improve health inequalities. Put GP's in the Hub.
The town centre surgery in King's Lynn recently moved out of town, making the doctors' less accessible for many. Residents campaigned for a replacement. The NHS found funding for a new doctors surgery - South Lynn Health Hub opened a year ago. Housing physio, Mental Health, maternity and dermatology outpatients, but no GP's. Recent research found fewer doctors in deprived areas. Where health needs are greater. Like South Lynn. The Hub needs GP's, NHS Dentists, and a Diabetic nurse.
