Thank you very much for that and for making record photographs; I have had great deal on my mind of late.
I am pleased to see investement in health and in people on such a scale. Particularly at a street level that will make it more accessible. I hope the bureaucracy is at the same level.
Having read it twice more, I am perplexed by the housing of four existing surgery practices, that are despite their NHS umbrella, private enterprises, surely? Housed in separate and privately owned premises. The question is then .. what is to happen to those premises? Is this a money gaining exercise? As you may have gathered from a thread here, my concern is for the degree of services available to the general public, under the masked cloak of The Trust.
You're welcome. I have an interest in Bellair as my Grandad used to work there.
I know nothing more than I've read in the Cornishman. I know that people who work there are packing up their offices in December. I am with Alverton Surgery and my wife and son are at Sunnyside, and it does make sense for us all to be able to go to one building. The disabled access in those two surgeries isn't great and, lovely buildings though they are, don't really cut it as medical practices in this day and age. Apparently it will be similar to the Stennack in St Ives, although I don't know much about that.
I can see that there could be some advantage in a whole family being able to access one building; I have to add that there can be advantages in the opposite direction. I remembered that you have a personal interest in the clinic. I have made my comment, which circles around the fact that this appears to be a joint project, which will have some effect on the town's architecture and its ownership.
As far as surgery is concerned, I left the partnership that I was with to go to one of the surgeries now in focus. Having had the realisation that it was not a surgery that would care about me, I left. I am now extremely grateful that I made that decision, I would be in a much more serious state than I am at present, I am sure.
I have just had a recollection of the merger of four surgeries, it all fits now. I had no suspicion that it had anything to do with a new building or a connection with the present clinic; lot of water under the bridge ... more like a torrent ... What a bunch of sneaky wotnots they are.
