LETTER: View from CCG is short on specifics
As a lay member of the Clinical Commissioning Group his task is to ensure patients’ interests are represented in local healthcare provision. I take that to mean ensuring that I do not have to wait some 8-9 days to see my GP or explain to the receptionist why my request is an emergency.
The patients of the three surgeries under threat do not need a state of the art surgery out of town they need ‘enhanced services’ at Horsham Hospital, for example, or very close by. After all, the state of the art building is, shall we say, a sweetener from the developers at Broadbridge Heath.
