Doctor will soon see you seven days a week

PATIENTS could soon have seven-day access to GP care in Oldham.

Oldham health bosses representing 45 GP practices have presented a proposal for the the service in the hope of being given a share of £7 million available to pay for seven-day surgeries in Greater Manchester.

Oldham and 11 other commissioning groups in the area agreed to have seven-day services by the end of this year.

The CCG is expecting a decision on its bid by early September.
