Independent Councillor Josephine Deehan said the Trust’s takeover of the contract had provided “great relief”, as it had been a source of serious concern in the community. Councillor Deehan enquired how the timescale afforded by the interim contract could enable the working out of a more sustainable provision, and sought further details around governance arrangements.
“I have one GP whose role is to act as an interface with primary care. To remove her from that to a clinical governance role is not in anybody’s interest.
