Andover Medical Centre Consultation

Leaflet got dropped through the letterbox this morning, interesting concept, I've never had any problem with the GP but it is definitely a bit tired and could do with a revamp.

The plans look good, but I am always worried about these projects that the council doesn't cash in enough and the private property moguls take all the money and they are very thin on details about the temporary relocation of the surgery...

They also should keep the bicycle racks.

I think it's very worrying that the NHS or Islington Council logos don't appear anywhere on the consulation site. Looks like this is being completely pushed and overseen by private property developers. Will the surgery still be run by the NHS once the revamp is complete?

I don't know for sure if this is one of them, but more than 50 north London GPs have already effectively been privatised by being taken over by Centene (giant American insurance corporation), so I imagine your concerns might have grounds.

The whole NHS is being packaged up and sold from under us.

There's also a good film by a GP turned investigative reporter Dr. Bob Gill - I think it's available on YouTube - worth a watch - The Great NHS Heist
