    Killinghall surgery Moss Healthcare

    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:

    "Moss Healthcare Harrogate is sorry to advise our patients that the branch site operating on Ripon Road in Killinghall will have to close in October 2024, when the current lease on the premises terminates, as the landlord has recently advised there is no option to renew the lease.
    "We are currently working with the local NHS integrated care board, who commission health care services, and other partners to identify options for ensuring seamless future care to all our patients.
    "We will keep patients informed as we work through this process."


    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.
