Construction work has now begun on the new health centre at the site of the old Dulwich hospital. The NHS in Southwark is now looking how we can improve the services provided at the new health centre, including general practice services. Find out more about the proposals here - http://www.southwarkccg.nhs.uk/our-plans/improving-services-in-dulwich-and-the-surrounding-areas/stage4/Pages/Developing-our-general-practice-services.aspx


The NHS would like to hear what people think is important about the 8am to 8pm service currently provided at the Lister Health Centre in Peckham and what they would like to see improved.


Please help by completing this short survey by 6 July 2018 - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/28a33015/


If you have already completed the survey, there is an extra question to answer here - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/bd25f94c/


If you require a paper copy, please email [email protected].

The additional question is (in my view) important.


We are considering moving the 8 to 8 service to the new Dulwich Health Centre from 2020, possibly with some 8 to 8 services still provided at the Lister Primary Care Centre in Peckham. Which of the following would you prefer?

- Dulwich

- Dulwich and Lister

- Lister

- Don?t know

Please explain: .....

Note that the version of the survey for users of the Hambleden Clinic or Melbourne Grove surgery


1. Has a closing date of today, 22 June.

2. Is purportedly not just about the 8-to-8 service, and some very general questions, but also has one specific question, number 30, about user preferences in awarding of the new GP contracts at those surgeries after the current ones end on 31 March 2019.


As the CCG's letter of 7 March to users of those surgeries said:


"We would like to tell you more information about this proposal [the move to Dulwich Hospital] and to make sure that your views are taken into account when deciding who manages GP services in your surgery by telling us what you value about the current service and what you would like to see improved. This will help us to choose the most relevant provider and that the decision is in the best interests of patients and staff."


"You can contribute your views in the following ways:"


"** Attend the meeting on 22 March, 6:30-8:00pm at Dulwich Hospital...

** Complete a paper survey which will be available at the meeting or can be sent to you.

** Complete an online survey that will be available after the meeting."


Question 30 is "Is there anything else that you would like us to take into account when making a decision about appointing a new GP services organisation to run your GP surgery?"


I don't think this is a satisfactory way of canvassing or obtaining full opinions about such an important matter as the type of GP practice people want. I do fear it may be the only opportunity proffered. I don't incidentally recollect the question even being raised at the 22 March meeting.

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.  
    • Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.
