The Ilchester Surgery 2017-02-23 Person 3 5 0

The reception staff and nurses are extremely helpful,efficient and friendly.In my oplnlon they do a fantastic job under extreme duress.However when it comes to the medical side of the practice I feel it's in total disarray.Last week there were no doctors on duty whatsoever and they had to call in a locum doctor to write prescriptions.I don't think they have any full time doctors at the surgery and share practitioners with the surgery in Somerton.This is totally unacceptable but staff shortages caused by long hours and people not wanting to join the profession plus Government cuts are destroying the N.H.S! I think the surgery in Ilchester will close before long and folk will have to travel to either Somerton or Yeovil.Lives inevitably will be more at risk,not to mention the many impracticalities,especially for the old and disabled.
