That the Parliament understands that there is a shortage of GPs in North Lanarkshire, which it considers is mainly the result of the UK Government's pension reforms introduced since 2010; believes that this has led to additional pressures on existing GP practices; notes with concern the reported announcement of the proposed closure of the GP surgery in Salsburgh at the end of March 2020; further notes the view that this proposal is unacceptable and will cause severe difficulties for the local population, especially those who are older, disabled or on low incomes; welcomes the decision at the public meeting on 18 February 2020 to seek an immediate halt to the closure plans so that a plan can be devised and implemented to ensure the continuation of GP services within Salsburgh on a long-term basis, and notes the calls on NHS Lanarkshire to do all that it can to ensure that the GP surgery in Salsburgh is kept open on a permanent basis.
