The planning permission was requested by the new surgery. It was also stated that there be a nursery there too. Firstly there is already the co op pharmacy who we believe the cousin of one of the doctors at the new surgery work there and also with the terrible parking from the Clifton (still is the clifton even though they ripped the name down) on the roads, the ambulance depot, in front of the library it is only a matter of time before someones child gets knocked over.<br /><br />There are plenty of Chemists in the area. We do not need any more, especially one that is really not needed as about a thirty second walk and you are at the co op. The new surgery has a chemist adjoining it and then you have a very good chemist Star Pharmacy down the bottom of the hill of the Walsall Road.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36654669.post-29859830380580786052014-06-03T17:10:47.842+01:002014-06-03T17:10:47.842+01:00Cattle market springs to mind!

Off street parking for NHS Staff at tax payers expense while the tax payer is forced to walk or use public transport.

It is firstly not fair on the surgeries that have had to give up their practice and history to be called TOWER HILL PARTNERSHIP<br /><br />Also, IT IS NOT ON TOWER HILL so why call it that.<br /><br />It is a new venture so out with the old and lets choose an independant name that has no link to the surgeries joining the group and call is new taking into consideration the new location.<br /><br />There has been a lot of concern about the new name and despite the amount of people who are against the new name the people involved in handleing queries about the name are the people who are keeping their name "Tower Hill Surgery"<br /><br />When approached one excuse for not being able to change the name was because planning permission would need to be re approached costing money. This would tell us that the forms that the name was already chosen at the start and that public voice did not matter. There should be a neutral party involved in listening to comments and complaints rather then the surgery themself.<br /><br />NEW VENTURE - NEW NAME.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36654669.post-15802167504813156832011-10-27T17:29:00.364+01:002011-10-27T17:29:00.364+01:00If additional services eg Physio and local consult...If additional services eg Physio and local consultations by maybe occupational therapy and/or hospital clinicions, were available,this may save travelling for Hospital Outpatient appointments.Stan Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36654669.post-69215539539398590632011-10-04T21:07:19.786+01:002011-10-04T21:07:19.786+01:00I think it would be very sad if my local surgery (...I think it would be very sad if my local surgery (Thornbridge Avenue) were to close for some so-called super surgery. Don't people think of the patients? If you are ill or elderly, you want to go to a local surgery with a personal touch. A lot of patients don't have cars and it seems ridiculous that you would have to travel quite a distance and then sit waiting in some soulless building. If the surgery does need renovation (and I don't think it does), why not spend the money on the existing one instead of something resembling a supermarket?Simon, Great Barrnoreply@blogger.com
