I rise to present a petition on the continued existence of a GP surgery in the village of Sherston, in my constituency of South Cotswolds. I thank the 1,695 local residents who have signed a similarly worded petition, and I hope that this demonstrates to the Government this rural community’s strength of feeling about the need for a new GP surgery to replace the existing one, whose lease will shortly expire. The petition states: The petition of the residents of Sherston and the surrounding villages, Declares that the future of Sherston surgery remains uncertain; that the existing Tolsey surgery in Sherston is no longer fit for purpose; a new purpose-built facility has been offered by a developer; the integrated care board has, to date, refused to commit to operating NHS services from the proposed new premises; further declares that, without such a commitment, many residents in Sherston and its neighbouring villages are in real danger of being left without reasonable access to essential NHS primary care services. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to take immediate action to support the establishment and ongoing operation of a new healthcare facility in Sherston, in order to ensure continued access to NHS services for the local community.
