Big Frank warns over GP surgeries

HOLBORN and St Pancras MP Frank Dobson has warned treasured GP surgeries could lose out in government plans to allow supermarkets to run similar services.
Prime Minister Tony Blair announced the possible change on Monday, effectively giving his support for walk-in clinics in High Street stores.
Mr Dobson, who has campaigned against increased private involvement in the NHS, said the proposal should be fought.
He told the New Journal: “If you look at the way the spread of Tesco has forced local businesses out of businesses, it follows that you could have a similar thing with GP services. Popular GPs could be driven out, forced to close. These changes hit the elderly and disabled – that’s what happened with small local shops: they closed when Tesco moved in.”
