- View the declarations of interest for item 66.
This report informs Members of the proposal to merge Gale Farm Surgery with Haxby Group and sets out the business case and methods of consultation that have taken place with patients at both surgeries.
Minutes:
Members received a report which informed them of a proposal to merge Gale Farm with Haxby Group. General Practitioners from both surgeries were in attendance at the meeting to answer any questions from Members.
The benefits they felt collaboration between the practices might bring were that the back office staff would be able to gather and share data as to who the GPs would be seeing and also it would allow more time for the GPs to see patients. As there were also specialists in both surgeries, a merger would provide a better service for patients.
It was also reported that there were no current plans to change the access at Gale Farm and the current doctors would remain in place in their current surgeries.
The Chair thanked the General Practitioners for attending the meeting to answer Members questions.
Resolved: That the report be noted.
Reason: In order that the Committee is kept informed of the merger.
