The Department of Health can confirm that the Western Health and Social Care Trust has agreed to take on the contract of Fintona Medical Centre.
Under this new temporary arrangement, which will take effect from 1 April 2024, the Trust will work with the Department to secure ongoing GP cover for the practice.
It follows extensive work to identify a new GP contractor to take over the practice, following the resignation of the current GP Partners.
Patients do not need to take any action. Patients of the practice can be assured that its services will continue under the new arrangement. They will receive letters on the situation over the coming days. Patients needing GP services should continue to contact the practice as normal.
