Been with Charing for a year. Moved one mile out of the boundary, having already been 6 miles away. Told by GP to write to Practise Manager to ask to stay with them. Get a letter back from Administration on dated 16 August, saying they are not accepting NEW patients outside the boundary, and giving me 30 days notice to find another GP. I have Stage IV cancer, not likely to die within 10 yrs. Also a mental health diagnosis which makes change difficult. I have never requested a home visit and would happily not have them.They have treatment like a piece of dirt. I get a letter from NHS England today, dated 17 August saying they have been informed by my GP I have moved outside of their boundary and I have 30 days to find another GP. I am appealing to the Head GP, as this contravenes the Equality Act, 2010 and the Human Rights Act, 1998. Quite frankly I am disgusted.

You could have treated me as an individual with individual needs. Not written me off. I am disabled due to a mistake by an NHS surgeon. I was misdiagnosed in regards my mental health disorder for over 30 years. I was misdiagnosed as not having cancer, when I have an incurable, extremely rare cancer. Now I am being made to leave a practice I have generally been happy with, just because I am 1 mile, yes 1 mile out of your boundary having been told by a GP that they couldn't see a problem with me remaining. I need continuity. I care for my 96 yr old father too and have to take him to hospital twice a week and if he has a fall. He is 9 miles away from me. I don't say sorry I'm not coming over as you are out of my boundary. You need to treat people as individuals, not numbers. You seem very keen to get rid of me!
