NHS want to close Jarrow Walk in Centre.
JARROW MP Stephen Hepburn has called plans to close a popular medical facility in South Tyneside “a cut too far”.
Health bosses want to shut the Jarrow Walk-In Centre at Palmer Community Hospital in Jarrow, despite more than 27,000 people using the unit over the last year – an increase from 12,000 a year when it opened in 2010.
The plans are being opposed by South Tyneside Public Services Alliance, which has launched a petition against closure.
There is growing opposition to closure of the Jarrow facility, when its contract runs out next year, as part of wider proposals that would see a new urgent care ‘one-stop shop’ at South Tyneside District Hospital in South Shields.
