DIER Must Assist in Medical Bus Service Provision
The Tasmanian Greens today said that the announced closure of the Westbury Medical Practice will come as a shock to the local community.
Greens Member for Lyons, Tim Morris MP, said that the announced closure date of the 16th of October is a very tight timetable for the Westbury Practice clients to identify and access alternative medical services.
“The announcement that the Westbury Medical Practice will be shutting its doors on the 16th of October will come as a shock to many of its clients, and the Greens will endeavour to work with the community to find solutions to this issue, especially as people will now need to seek alternative medical services,” Mr Morris said.
“I will also be seeking an urgent briefing from the Department of Infrastructure regarding claims that the Practise has sought assistance to run a free medical bus service for its Westbury patients so that they can access the Deloraine Practice but that this has proposal has become stalled.”
