Doctor's Surgery Provision
Following
the re-organisation required by the Government’s 2012 NHS Act, GP
surgery provision is now managed by NHS
England. This body is responsible for making sure everyone in England
has access to a doctor, and reports to the Secretary of State for
Health.
The
main point is that prior to this, surgery closures were dealt with
locally by Swindon Primary Care Trust. We now have no local body dealing
with GP provision
in Swindon.
