GP Surgeries: Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

Asked by Sir Christopher ChopeConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 19 March 2025UIN 38342

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the application by the South Coast Medical Group for the establishment of a surgery in Burton as a Branch of The Grove Surgery was made; and when a decision will be given.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Department does not hold information on applications for the establishment of new surgeries as it is for integrated care boards, as part of their commissioning responsibility for primary care, to consider applications for any new general practice surgeries.

The hon. Member may wish to raise this issue with the local integrated care board directly, so it can investigate this further. Their contact details at available at the following link:
