Stephen Mosley MP Visit to Garden Lane Medical Centre, Chester / 24 Jan 2014

The practice of Garden Lane Medical Centre were delighted to welcome Stephen Mosley MP to their premises to meet the GPs and practice staff on 10th January 2014.

The occasion gave everyone an opportunity to share their views and knowledge of modern day General Practice and experience the issues and good work being undertaken in primary care.

The visit highlighted the need for further and continued investment in the primary care infrastructure to enable GPs to continue the good work of caring for their communities.

Stephen Mosley MP said

"I want to thank all the staff at Garden Lane Medical Centre for inviting me to visit their practice.This has been a fascinating opportunity to discuss NHS primary care with the professionals who are delivering those essential front-line services.It's clear that there are challenges to make sure patients are at the centre of healthcare delivering in Chester, not least striking the right balance between making sure patients are seen as soon as possible but also maintaining a continuous patient-doctor relationship.I'm confident that the policies we're delivering in Government for our NHS - including real terms increases in the NHS budget - combined with the excellent doctors and nurses we have here in Chester, will deliver for the healthcare needs of local people.
