About 13,000 patients have been affected by the closure of East Leicester Medical Practice.
A GP surgery has been forced to remain closed after it was flooded during a torrential downpour last week.
"There was a massive failure in the roof," he said. "A huge amount of water entered the building in a very short period of time, almost like dumping a swimming pool on the building. Dr Farooqi said the surgery had remained closed since due to the severe water damage and was only handling urgent queries, adding all 50 members of staff had been redeployed to neighbouring practices."It's a really serious situation because we provide day-to-day GP services to 13,000 patients and wider community services to more than 50,000 patients in the east of the city," he said.
