GPs will see patients out of hours more so this winter.

The Kingston Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has announced extra clinics on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 12pm and from 5pm to 7pm until March 2015.

Participating centres are Churchill Medical Centre in Clifford Road, Kingston, The Groves Medical Centre in Clarence Avenue, New Malden and Surbiton Health Centre in Ewell Road, Surbiton.
