Open Consultation on Strete and Slapton rural surgeries.

The Doctors at Dartmouth Medical Practice wish to open a consultation process between yourselves and the Practice about the future of the rural surgeries held in the villages of Slapton and Strete. The Medical Practice offers a GP surgery at the Village Hall in both communities on the 1st and 3rd Thursday afternoons of the month. Over the past few months only a few patients were seen. Between July and October 5 patients were seen at Slapton and 3 at Strete. Whilst the number of surgeries did drop because of annual holidays it is a very small number of patients seen. The Doctors consider that the greater good of all patients, including those who live in Slapton and Strete, will be achieved by no longer operating a surgery in Slapton and Strete and, instead, holding one in Dartmouth. Therefore we are proposing to close these surgeries and are seeking your views on this proposal. We would be grateful if you could let us have your views in writing by Friday 14th February 2014.
