Dear Julian


Could you please post the attached email on th PFNW website.  Regards Cllr Brian.Rush

From: "Wightman Peter"   To: "'Cllr Rush Brian'"

Dear Councillor Rush


Further to my comments at the Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee and public meetings, I am pleased to confirm NHS Peterborough and NHS Cambridgeshire's intentions with regard to services provided in Stanground [Peterborough, Cambridgeshire].


(1) There is no intention to close the Stanground surgery. The map in the consultation document only shows the main surgery sites as a branch of the Whittlesey surgery, this site was not shown. I attach the map provided at the Scrutiny Committee showing the branch surgeries which includes Stanground.  >>>>


(2) The practice running the Stanground surgery (Whittlesey surgery) has applied for additional rental income to extend their surgery to meet future population growth. This practice's contract is held by NHS Cambridgeshire. NHS Cambridgeshire have approved the application.


The progress with the extension is now reliant on the practice successfully acquiring the neighbouring property. This property is owned by NHS Peterborough and includes dental services. In line with procurement guidance, NHS Peterborough is currently following a restricted competition process for the sale of the building, to include the provision of NHS dental services. One of the applicants is the GP surgery. We should know the outcome of this process by the end of the Summer.


Yours sincerely


Peter Wightman

Interim Director NHS Peterborough
