The four senior partners at the Sutherland Lodge Surgery in Baddow Road have resigned because of government funding cuts. They have given notice to leave on 30th June 2016 and the surgery now faces an uncertain future. Other local surgeries in the area, including Great Baddow Village Surgery, are now expected to receive an influx of new patient requests.
NHS England insist that the surgery will not close and are now looking for a new provider to take over from 1st July 2016.
