Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

This article in today's Guardian raises the question of how many GP surgeries in our area are now being run by a US based company, Centene Corp:

I see that, for example, St.Ann's Road Surgery, or the Laurels, is owned by AT Medics, which has been taken over by Operose Health, a UK subsidiary of Centene Corp.

Having seen the many negative comments on here about the standard  of service at the Laurels, perhaps this will be a good thing and we can look forward to an improved health centre.

At medics have just lost their contract using our surgery. Rubbish care

maybe it’s being taken over by the same firm. Hope it’s better

This is a terrible development. I am a patient at St Ann's Road surgery and do not want it run by this US health insurance multinational. It has been done in secret. There is a campaign against the takeover. Information here:

Can we vote with our feet and register elsewhere?

Used to use the laurels for Blood Tests

Sure the Doctors was running as NHS Doctors

As was Blood Test Staff and other NHS Services

Can understand them taking over building. But can not see them taking over Patients

Especially with such a large Doctors list of patients. As sure the majority of patients would not be able to afford private Health care

Operose Health, the UK subsidiary of Centene have taken over AT Medics, which runs 49 GP surgeries, including St Ann's Road Surgery, which is based at The Laurels. Other services, including blood tests and community health are also based there but they haven't been taken over, nor has the building, as far as I know.
