*The Green in Newmarket-on-Fergus where the GP practice of Dr Colum Hackett was located. REMOVING GP services from the county’s fifth largest settlement is “unfathomable”, Newmarket-on-Fergus’ sole elected member of Clare County Council has said.
Una Martin, Cllr David Griffin (FF) and Aidín O’Hanlon in Newmarket-on-Fergus. CONFIRMATION from the HSE that Newmarket-on-Fergus will be left without a GP has come as “a bolt from the blue” for the local community.
NEWMARKET-ON-FERGUS’ five-year search to source a permanent GP has been dealt “a devastating blow” with close to 1000 patients to instead be treated in neighbouring Clarecastle.
NEWMARKET-ON-FERGUS’ continued fight to get a GP service back to the village was referenced at Monday’s meeting of Clare County Council.
