Interesting because Exmouth at around 35,000 population is substantially bigger than Honiton, with its 12,000 population.
“Devon Doctors, which runs the out-of-hours GP services in the region, is planning to combine the scheme with Devon’s NHS 111 service, which it will take over next month.
Under the plans due to take effect on October 1, treatment centres such as the one at Exmouth Hospital will close in favour of patients phoning the 111 service for help.
Currently, there is one GP who provides out-of-hours care on weekday evenings and two at the weekends.
This change means there will be no GP working in Exmouth and patients may face having to travel to Exeter or Honiton for treatment.”
