Description

NHS North West London ICB required the continuation of the Asylum Seeker IAC Primary Care Provision (Feltham and Bedfont PCN) service and has therefore granted a further 12 month extension to Little Park Surgery (Hounslow), until 31st March 2024.

- To reduce burden on Primary Care services in GMS delivery.
- To improve patient access to community services.
- To improve patient choice and experience.
