Patients at a village surgery are due to face reduced services while a new provider prepares to step in. 

But Fenland Group Practice [FGP], which runs Priors Field Surgery in Sutton, said it will still serve patients as of March 27. 

Writing on their Facebook page, FGP said: “We will be running a reduced service from our Priors Field branch as we prepare to handover the contract to Malling Health. 

“We will still be providing a service to all our patients, but if you are needing a face-to-face appointment, you may be asked to attend one of the other sites.”

FGP said no patients will be seen at Priors Field Surgery between March 30-31 during the takeover. 

The post added: “You will still be able to call the usual number and it will be picked up by our reception team.” 

The NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board [ICB] confirmed on March 10 that Malling Health will deliver care to Priors Field Surgery patients. 

It will take on a 12-month interim contract from April 1.
