"It's been a year since SouthDoc made the decision to temporarily close its Blackpool centre, in response to Covid-19.
In documentation obtained by Deptuy Thomas Gould through a Freedom of Information request, the HSE first instructed SouthDoc to reopen the service last September.
Despite this, the centre has remained shut and Deputy Gould has accused Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, of failing the people of the northside who have been without an out-of-hours GP Service since last March.
The HSE have requested an update on the matter with the board of SouthDoc expected to meet at the end of the month"
