A woman says her GP has told her they will no longer treat her and kicked her off the patient list after decades.
“I said that was ridiculous. I don't know why they didn’t tell me - I have been with them since my children were born.” “ said: ‘OK, our boundary area is now finished at Newton Road’. I’ve been at this address for nearly 20 years, so how is that possible?,” Lesley said. “I said 'that's incompetence on a huge scale. I said I’m under a doctor at the minute for problems with my neck' and she said I’d have to find another GP and that’s it," Lesley added.
It is understood that in line with NHS England policy, all GP practices have an agreed geographical area with boundaries and can only accept registrations from patients within the boundary.
