Local MP Alan Mak secures partial restoration of diagnostic services at Oak Park Community Clinic in Havant

Local MP Alan Mak has secured partial restoration of diagnostic services at Oak Park Community Clinic in Havant.

Vital services such as X-rays and scans were suddenly withdrawn from Oak Park before Christmas without any consultation with patients, local GPs, community groups or care providers. 

Patients were told they would have to travel to St Mary's Hospital in Portsmouth instead.

Mr Mak raised the issue in Parliament and launched a petition to get diagnostic services restored at Oak Park.

Health Minister Stephen Kinnock confirmed that Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust was preparing to recommence non-obstetric ultrasound at Oak Park after an additional scanner was purchased for the site.

Mr Mak, who secured and led a debate on the issue in the Chamber of the House of Commons, said: "Oak Park is a vital community asset that has long played an important role in local healthcare provision.

"For residents, the clinic represents local, familiar and accessible care, particularly for sick, elderly and vulnerable people who struggle to travel.

"The general failure to communicate with people affected by the closure has caused widespread confusion, anger and fear."

He added: "The loss of diagnostics is a huge concern for my constituents, so I am pleased that my pressing the Government has resulted in services being partially restored.

"But I am still calling for full diagnostic services to be reinstated locally to a central location in the Havant constituency, either at Oak Park or another suitable site.

"In the meantime, there must be interim provision in the constituency, for example via a mobile unit or temporary facilities.

"Local people deserve nothing less and my campaign to get the Government, the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board and the NHS to deliver will continue. If you agree with me, please sign my petition."
