In February 2022, 655 practices were registered in this region.</p><p>A reduction in practice numbers can be for a variety of reasons, including practice mergers or closures and does not mean a reduction in the quality of care. Practice mergers can offer benefits such as consolidation of back-office functions and sharing of staff expertise and skills between practices. Where a practice closes, patients are informed and advised to register at another local practice of their choice within their area. Practices and commissioners must put in place appropriate measures to ensure that the affected patients have access to general practitioner services.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 28/04/2022 08:17:28 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
