The Menston/Guiseley Medical Practice feels threatened by NHS changes, is Grange Park surgery in Burley, similarly under threat?

See Menston Forum - http://www.wharfedal..._7887#entry7887

It's a very busy surgery and to my knowledge their main issue is that their building is close to maximium capacity. Certainly there's no threat to it.

I think perhaps the post title is a little misleading.

Its a perfectly valid question, not in the least mis-leading.

I'm not a patient of Grange Park, so I don't know what their stance is on the NHS changes as they impact GP surgeries. Menston / Guiseley practice feel threatened by the NHS changes, for the reasons stated in their letter.

I'm asking if Grange Park surgery is also threatened by the proposed NHS changes.

Ok, I don't know whether they like any of the current round of changes or not.

I was asked to take a look at the post because someone thought you meant it might be under threat of closure. I understand now you didn't mean that at all.

Personally I wish politicians of all parties would stop messing around with structures and focus more on patient care, service user satisfaction, and clinical outcomes instead... but I seem to be constantly in the minority!

My mother is a patient at Grange Park. There'll be some strong words from this quarter if they do start messing folk around. However I take what Matt has said to true. To those members of the media I do know read these pages, put yourselves in the position of the patients before reporting rubbish. If you're not sure then make sure.

Do you know what the practice's view is of the proposed NHS changes & how they impact on GP's?

Their website http://www.grangeparksurgery.co.uk/ - has nothing on it about the changes - it appears not to have been updated since June 2011.
