Keep Balmoral Gardens Community Healthy Living Centre/NHS Walk-In Clinic open
Petition for the NHS walk in centre in Gillingham to remain open.
Medway hospital is overcrowded with insufficient and expensive parking, with long waits.
Council tax payers have not been engaged in the making of the decision.
There is still a definite need for this centre to remain open.
For six years patients have been able to turn up at Balmoral Healthy Living Centre, in Balmoral Gardens, Gillingham, to access advice and treatment without an appointment.
It was intended as a service for those who were too ill to wait to see a GP but whose condition wasn't serious enough to warrant a visit to A&E.
It’s now going to close to be incorporated into the Urgent Treatment Centre at Medway Maritime Hospital, which opened at the end of last year.
