I telephoned my medical centre (in Helensburgh) at 8am this morning to see if I could get an appointment but was constant getting message "The surgery is now closed to contact the NHS24 service so I walked to the medical centre in Helensburgh to see if it was opened to find that it was shut and it was a bank holiday when it is not hear but the answering service doesn't even say that it was closed and it was a holiday but the hospitals clinics etc are still open today not even did the medical centre put an answer message but nothing in the press to say they would be shut. I have now had to take a trip to the minor service just to have my toe checked. urgent clarity is needed when the practice is shut as many people might not be aware of when the surgerys are closed
"Medical Centre Closed again "
