Winter infections are spreading
Winter infections are spreading, and hospitals are under extreme pressure.
The proposed boundary extension is intended to ensure that patients living in newly developed housing areas have access to local GP services. Holmside Medical Group has a long-standing history of providing primary care to the surrounding community, and these new developments are a natural extension of the population we already serve. The proposed change simply incorporates these new residential areas, which currently fall just outside our existing practice boundary, allowing us to continue delivering accessible, high-quality care to our local community.
We want to hear from you. You can respond between the 27/07/2026 to 21/08/2026
✅ Completing our online survey: Boundary Expansion Feedback Form – Fill in form
✅ Picking up a paper copy from reception
✅ Asking for a copy in Easy Read, large print, or other formats
📅 Deadline for feedback: 21/08/2026
