Midlothian North MSP Requests Walk-In GP Centre for Community

Colin Beattie MSP for Midlothian North's first action since being re-elected was to formally request a walk-in GP centre for his constituents.

Commenting SNP MSP Colin Beattie said:

"Throughout the campaign period, improving GP access was consistently raised. The public are excited by the idea of the SNPs policy to end the 8am rush by expanding the walk-in GP trial.

"Existing services in Midlothian are already under pressure and with Midlothian being the fastest growing local authority in Scotland this must be exacerbated. 

"I believe this should make Midlothian North a priority location for a walk-in GP centre

"As the constituency’s representative at the Scottish Parliament I have written to the Scottish Government requesting that a new walk-in centre is opened in Midlothian North as soon as possible."
