It is something I proposed in the last ward assembly and directly to all of the Forest Hill Councillors.

There is currently no GP surgery in Forest Hill Ward, making parts of the ward further than 0.5miles from a GP, and further from a GP than almost all other populated areas of London, and in some places (around Honor Oak Road) no direct bus routes to the nearest surgery in Southwark.

This is the link to the density of GP surgeries on London.

Page 7, figure 5b and d

In figure 5b Forest Hill has the lowest density on the map. The only other areas in Inner London with a similar density are Richmond Park, Dulwich Wood, Wormwood Scrubs, the Thames barrier, Buckingham Palace, Hampstead Heath.

In figure 5d Forest Hill is the only pink patch in Inner London other than the heart of the City.

I think this is proof that we are lacking sufficient GP practices in Forest Hill ward.
