However, the Department of Health has confirmed that a new GP contractor has been appointed for the site.In a statement, a spokesperson for the DoH continued: "Patients of the practice will automatically be registered with the new practice so they do not need to take any action." The news comes as another GP surgery in North Belfast, Flax Medical Centre in Ardoyne, remains at risk of closure.
Earlier this month, the surgery handed its contract back to the Department of Health, which means that unless a new GP is secured the practice, which provides health care for over 3,000 people, will close on December 31. The practice is located in the Flax Centre on Ardoyne Avenue and was established by Dr Tan in the early 1990s and is now led by Dr Monaghan.For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here.
