THE North Bicester surgery will close to thousands of patients in November it has been confirmed.

Bicester Town councillor Lawrie Stratford confirmed the closure date for the surgery in Barberry Place which has about 4,000 patients.

Talks are in the process of relocating patients within the town's other surgeries.

It is understood the surgery is closing due to two of its GPs retiring and the third is expected to also move to another surgery within Bicester.
