NHS
Tayside has received an application from Broughty Family Healthcare, in Brown
Street, to amend its practice boundary. If the proposed new boundary is agreed,
anyone who moves into Balmossie Brae, Clearwater Park, Ferryfields, and
Panmurefield would not be able to register with the practice and would need to
go to a practice out with The Ferry ward. Patients of the practice who currently
live in these areas will remain registered until such time as they either de-register
or move to a new address out with the practice boundary.
There
is a consultation on going and the deadline for submissions has been extended to
17 March, so anyone who has concerns about this proposal can contribute to the consultation by writing
to:
NHS

All
comments received will be considered via the General Practice Advisory
Committee.
It
seems to me that anyone who lives in The Ferry ward should be able, if they wish,
to register with a medical practice in the ward. I’m sure this sentiment will
be reflected in the comments received by NHS Tayside.
