The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what was the name of the last GP surgery set up in Tunbridge Wells constituency; and when that surgery was set up.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Information regarding the name and date of establishment for the latest GP surgery set up in England, Tunbridge Wells constituency, and Kent is as follows:
- The last GP surgery set up in England was Solent NHS Trust T/A Medina Healthcare, which was created on 4th September 2024.
- The last GP surgery set up in Tunbridge Wells constituency was Lonsdale Medical Centre, which was created on 1st May 1991.
- The last GP surgery set up in Kent was Bromleag Care Practice, which was created on 1st April 2019.
To note:
The data included has been taken from GP and GP practice related data - NHS England Digital (file epraccur.csv), and is labelled ‘GP Practices’, however this is not entirely accurate as it comes from NHS Prescribing Services and identifies cost centre codes for prescribing activity. This data wasn't created to list GP Practices; instead, it's meant to track prescribing activity and pay dispensing contractors. It has since been used as a reference for IT systems operations.
