We the undersigned believe that the Sidwell Street Walk-in Centre is an essential and well-located NHS facility in the centre of our city. We demand the Clinical Commissioning Group to keep it open.
Why is this important?
The NHS Walk-in Centre in Sidwell Street, Exeter is centrally located, which makes it very accessible to everyone living in Exeter. It is open from 8AM to 4PM every day (10AM-4PM Sundays) and is available to everyone in the community, whether or not registered with a GP - on a drop-in basis. This means there are many users, including young people to whom it provides a unique point of access to NHS healthcare services, without which they would have none. It also takes pressure off already stretched A&E. We want the CCG to commit to keeping this service open for the future.
