RESIDENTS are being asked their views on the future of “below average” GP services in East Harrow.

NHS Harrow, formerly Harrow PCT, is consulting on plans to turn Belmont Health Centre, in Kenton Lane, into a polyclinic, meaning it will open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week.

If the proposals go ahead the centre will offer enhanced services and act as a “hub”, working together with smaller GP practices in the area.

NHS Harrow hopes to complete the project by 2012.

The organisation says patients in the area are less satisfied with GP services than elsewhere in Harrow, with opening hours and appointment bookings among the areas criticised.

Anyone who wants to have their say on the plans can view the consultation document online, at www.harrowpct.nhs.uk, or call NHS Harrow on 0208 966 1050.

Responses must be received by 5pm on March 17.
