Harrogate village doctors' surgery to close
Moss Healthcare Harrogate has announced it is to close its Killinghall practice.
Dr Nick Taylor, a senior partner at the company, wrote to patients today informing them of the news.
He said the landlord had decided not to renew the lease and the surgery will close in October next year.
The letter said:
The Killinghall practice is one of three operated by Moss Healthcare Harrogate, which also has sites on King’s Road in Harrogate and in Jennyfields.
Villagers — especially those who find it difficult to travel — have long feared its demise.
In May this year Moss Healthcare Harrogate announced the surgery would temporarily close in the afternoons due to "staffing issues".
The site has a sizeable car park in the middle of a village where parking is at a premium. It is next to the Greyhounds Inn, which has been closed for several years.
