NHS England has today confirmed that it has terminated the contract with CCA Care Partnership to run the GP surgery at Culcheth, Warrington.
A “caretaker practice” has been appointed to run the surgery – Central Park Medical Centre.
NHS England say they are confident that they will make long lasting improvement to the way the Culcheth practice operates.
Warrington North MP Helen Jones said today: “Frankly, I am not surprised at this latest development.
“My question is why were the problems allowed to get to this stage. Everyone in Culcheth, who is a patient at the CCA surgery, has been aware of problems at the practice, not least how difficult it has been to get an appointment – a fact raised with Healthwatch Warrington by the local parish council months ago.
“ Now that NHS England has taken action I hope that they will live up to their promise and ensure long lasting improvements will be made so that people in Culcheth can have confidence in the GP services offered by that practice.”
CCA also run practices at the Chapelford Health Centre and Appleton Heath Centre.
NHS England said: “Due to difficulties experienced by the contract holders (CCA Partnership) and following ongoing discussions (with NHS England) it has regrettably been decided, by mutual agreement, to terminate the contract and make alternative arrangements for the immediate future of the practices.”
