Stop plans to close Lynton House Surgery on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1pm .
There has been little or no consultation on these plans
Patients registered with the practice have had no communication on this change of hours.
The practice is planning to introduce the reduced hours from November
Why is this important?
Plans to reduce hours by 30% on an already stretched practice is unacceptable. When residents call for an appointment they are faced with a 2-3 weeks wait for appointments. There is also pressure being brought to get people to accept appointments at the Cressex health centre which is not easy to access and is on the west side of High Wycombe in Cressex Industrial Estate
The Ryemead area population has increased in last 10 years by more than 1000+ and this will continue as more housing developments come on stream.
Some 8 years ago it was identified there was an need for an additional “ 1.5 doctors” to meet the need of the new housing estates being build in the area but this wasn’t taken up by a doctors surgery.
Lynton House is the only surgery in the Ryemead ward and its hours need to be increased not decreased to meet the local demand
We are calling for this reduction is services to br reversed or to be scrutinized in light of the growing need in Ryemead for an increase in Doctors services at the point of need - in the local ward and community
How it will be delivered
The petition will be delivered to BFP ,BCC and the practice by Trevor Snaith , Ryemead Forum Chairman/Retired Mayor of High Wycombe along with local residents, WDC Ryemead Cllr Ray Farmer and BCC Cllr Chaudhry Ditta .
