Call for fairer split of GP services across Telford
GP services need to be split more fairly across Telford to tackle imbalances in the care people are able to access, a campaigner has said.
People in several areas including Wellington have struggled for doctor's appointments throughout the pandemic, and while things have improved since a petition was launched in September, Pat McCarthy insists the council must do more to help get GPs into the town.
Campaigners called for a new surgery to be built in Wellington last year, and gathered around 1,000 signatures in just three weeks.
Pat McCarthy, co-ordinator of Telford and Wrekin Green Party, said: "We've been looking at getting more democratic input into the way GP practices work throughout Telford so we can get resources going to places that need it like Wellington and Sutton Hill.
