Simon Bull, Green Councillor for Winton East, has raised concerns about closures of local medical centres in the Winton area, forcing local residents to travel further to see a GP.
Now the Bournemouth Daily Echo reports that Winton Health Centre on Alma Road, where over 10,000 patients had been registered, may reopen by next year with new NHS funding.
Meanwhile, the proposed closure of Banks Medical Centre on Wimborne Road, with transfer of patient registrations to a site in Bearwood, has not taken place.
Simon said: “Cllr Rigby and I continue to monitor the adequacy of local residents’ access to nearby GP services. We would welcome contact from residents.”
