203 PAT EARLThe Family Doctor concept is as neccessary today as it has ever been. Drs surgeries represent excellent value for money and there is no need to change our access to them

206 Philip GreigI get a very good service from my GP at the Westrop Surgery in Hughworth, only 4 miles away. Keep it and everything else LOCAL, PLEASE.
207 Simon GrettonMy wife,Sandra,and I are both wholeheartedly in support of this campaign.
208 Mary SainsburyIf the local surgery, Westrop Surgery in Highworth, were to be closed, the nearest one will be built in Swindon, a distance of some 6 miles. I live in a small village with NO bus service and being elderly, visiting a polyclinic would be virtually impossible. Equally, those with small children would find it extremely difficult. Does the Government care about people living in rural communities or is only concerned about those living in a town?
209 H LansberryI wish to be able to see MY GP locally, and be able to see him/her all the time, NOT a centralised overseas doctor at these enormous clinics. I wish my son to be able to be a GP and not have to abandon the idea of working locally with familes.
210 Mick CunninghamWhy do this government interfere with things that work well and dont tackle things that are ruining this Country. I apologise as I am one of those to blame as I voted for them!!

214 amy purdonI really feel strongly about this. People without cars (I don't see public transport being made any more efficient or frequent in the countrsyide), the elderly and disabled will find it very inconvenient to have to travel further - which most will & I think it's another way (along with post office closures) in which community life will be fragmented. Never thought I'd have to petition a labour government about such things.
215 Lesley WrightI have severe health problems and prefer to see my own GP because he knows my history and my ability to understand my disease and treatment. I would not feel comfortable seeing anyone else and that does not happen at my present surgery
216 AnonymousPlease give the NHS and our much valued GPs a period of stability and consolidation

218 Richard NelsonAs a healthcare professional and hospital doctor I realise that for people in need, an essential part of their caring process depends upon the relationships they enter into. These may be with a hospital consultant, a ward nurse, even a student, but the one great constant through most peoples' lives is their relationship with a GP. In addition to bullet points and protocols, we need carers who know when not to medicate, when to watch and when to reassure. Such care is unlikely to be available at a walk in centre staffed by 50 professionals. This plan will threaten the viability of some GP surgeries as well as break up the valuable partnership that exists between primary and secondary care. Choice is not needed when one of the alternatives, in this case the polyclinic, is manifestly inferior.

221 John HuttyThe present system works well, why change it ?
222 Matthew LindsayMy local medical centre is an invaluable asset to the local community which would suffer greatly if it were lost.
223 David and Anne WoodPlease do not close our Surgery here in Highworth, Wiltshire. It will cause unnecessary expense to travel afield for consultation and renewing Prescriptions. PLEASE KEEP our Surgery open we need it to be local for easy access for our 12.000 odd residents.
224 Mr S WoodheadI agree wit local GP's that this is just another step to privatise the NHS and therefore I full support you in your protest.

238 Janice KyddHaving listened to the arguments and where the nearest clinic would be for my parents and myself, 20 miles to see a doctor is unacceptable.

244 Angela BarnesThe provisions for GP healthcare in my area are very good. No tinkering with what is already working well thank you very much.

246 Helen McCallAs a Labour voter, I am appalled at the government's relentless attack upon communities. Every decision seems to play right into the hands of the Tories.
