Description
Scottish Government advised GP practices in March 2020 that they should continue to accept applications from new patients. It is important that patients who have moved to new areas are able to register with a GP. Patients who are already registered with a GP in their area are able to apply to another practice for inclusion on their list of patients but those practices are not obliged to accept them or Health Boards to assign them to a practice list.
