MP Dismayed at Pontnewynydd Surgery Closure

Torfaen MP Paul Murphy has responded with surprise and anger to the news that patients of Mill Road Surgery in Pontnewynydd have been sent a letter informing them of the closure of their surgery.

He said: “I am very disappointed about this news and totally support the efforts of AM Lynne Neagle and other representatives of the local community. It was only a few days ago that I was given the impression that the Local Health Board were delaying any plans until Brian Gibbons had investigated the situation. I contacted the LHB last week to urge them to do everything in their power to look into all possibilities that would keep the surgery open. I will now write to them again to make my disappointment at events clear.”
