I am a patient registered with the Swan Practice. Whilst walking down Verney Close recently I was surprised to see a yellow planning notice adjacent to the surgery saying the planning authority has received a planning application "for the demolition of existing development and erection of 1 residential building comprising 6 flats, off street parking, bin storage and bicycle storage". Given that on the very rare occasion when I have been granted an urgent same day appointment it is always at Verney Close rather than at North End where I am registered. So, what impact is this application going to have? When will the Verney Close surgery be closing and what if anything will replace it? I would have expected to see something on the practice website about this but it is silent on this important point. I cannot imagine that the covid-19 crisis is preventing you from doing this as you are more or less closed to all patients now so far as I can see. You must surely have plenty of time to let patients know this very important bit of information.
I am also very concerned that there has been no news on the annual flu vaccinations yet (and I am in a vulnerable category) I got one all booked up with Boots the Chemists in Buckingham on 13th August. If they can deal with it so efficiently, I wonder why you are not able?
