'While I am not surprised, this news is bound to make patients nervous and some may even be very frightened.'
The Department of Health has said work is underway to find new GPs to take over at a medial practice in North Belfast.The Department said it will be advertising for new GPs to take over this contract from 1 January 2023 and is advising patients to continue to contact Grove Medical Practice as normal.Ulster Unionist representative for North Belfast Julie-Anne Corr-Johnston said: "I can't say this has come as a shock.
"I am however, terribly sad that it has come to this. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the GP team at Grove and thank them for the care they have afforded my family and my children over the years." A DoH spokesperson said: "It is important to emphasise that the practice is still open and that current GPs will remain until the end of the year. Patients who require GP care should continue to contact Grove Medical Practice as normal.
"This will help stabilise our GP workforce and ensure it is sustainable for the future. This is being supplemented by the roll-out of Multi-disciplinary Teams in GP practices which will increase the types of professionals such as mental health specialists, physiotherapists, advanced nurse practitioners, social workers and pharmacist that patients can see in a practice setting."
