A WIDER range of health services is being predicted for patients in Ulverston following the announcement of a new GP contract.
NHS Cumbria, the county’s primary care trust, has announced the former single-GP Bayside practice will be expanded after being taken over by a neighbouring practice at the Ulverston Health Centre in Stanley Street.
The PCT said the new contract would enable the successful bidder, Dr Murray and Partners, to develop more services for patients in conjunction with the Drs Graham and Harnby practice at the health centre.
The PCT’s primary care medical director, Dr Mike Bewick, said: “This is good news for the people of Ulverston, who will in time be able to access an enhanced range of clinics and other health services closet to where they live.”
