Solution over Snaefell Surgery 'will' be found
The health minister says he can ‘categorically confirm’ that Snaefell Surgery will remain open.
That’s despite the GP partners who operate the practice, in Anagh Coar, terminating their contract.
They’ve blamed insufficient funding for the decision saying they cannot develop it in any ‘meaningful and positive’ way.
Negotiations will continue next week to find a way forward for the surgery which has more than 5,000 patients.
David Ashford says there will be a solution:
