GP Surgery Closure in Evington: A Controversial Consultation and Ongoing Review
A GP surgery in Evington closed last December, leaving patients to travel to the next nearest practice. The local health board, LLR ICB, held a public consultation on patient access, but campaigners, led by John McFadyen, accused the board of a sham consultation. McFadyen complained to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, alleging that decisions were already made before the consultation. The ombudsman initially agreed with the board, but McFadyens pushback led to a reevaluation of the case. The health board maintains that the GP practice made the decisions under their contract, and the consultation was to assess impact and solutions, not to reverse the closure.
