It has been confirmed that Campbeltown Medical Practice (CMP) will take over Kintyre Medical Group (KMG).
Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) hopes the merger will ensure high quality and sustainable GP services for the Southend, west Kintyre and Gigha communities which are served by KMG.
The move means more services can be delivered locally, offering patients access to specialist nurses and GPs or choice of a male or female doctor, while dispensing will continue to be carried out in the local surgeries.
