Evington Surgery Closure Under Scrutiny | Leicester News

A GP surgery in Evington shut down in December 2024 after its landlord sold the building, sparking outrage from locals who called the closure “undemocratic” and said patients now face long bus rides to see a doctor. Community group Retain Our Services took their complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, arguing the health board ignored community input. The ombudsman found the board made procedural mistakes but concluded those didn’t change the final decision to close. The case was closed with no reversal, and campaigners say a judicial review is financially out of reach. The ICB defended the move, citing the GP practice’s contractual obligations and pointing out nearby clinics as alternatives.
