New contractors appointed for Ballymoney Health Centre and Portstewart Family Practice

The Department of Health can confirm that new contractors have been appointed for Ballymoney Health Centre and Portstewart Family Practice.

The partners of Ballymoney Family Practice will take on the management of Drs Fannin, Hutchinson & Boyd, Ballymoney Health Centre, with effect from 1 October 2024. The two practices will merge on this date and become one practice.

Dr Johnny Burns & Partners took over the management of Portstewart Family Practice on 1 September 2024.

Patients of both Ballymoney Health Centre and Portstewart Family Practice have been informed of the new contractors and will be automatically registered so they do not need to take any action.

It follows extensive work to identify new GP contractors to take over the practices, following the hand back of the contracts by previous contractors.
