Save our local surgery - Balham

Please consider investing in our GP surgery so that it would not need to shut shop after serving the local community for the past eight decades

Why is this important?

The surgery currently serves over 4000 patients in our local area.

The one GP we have left at the surgery is struggling to attract younger doctors to work at the practice, mainly because the premises needs modernising and developing. This will require an investment of funds from NHS England or from a benevolent property developer.

Our GP is reluctant to move but feels she has no choice. If there is no money to develop the premises, the proposal is to merge with a 7000 patient surgery on the other side of town.

I feel there is so much to lose if this move should take place, especially the loss of community, which I think will never recover once it has been lost
