Sir – Twenty years ago, my husband and I came to live in Oxford and registered with our neighbourhood doctors at the North Oxford Medical Centre in Woodstock Road.
Soon afterwards, our daughter came to stay with us to introduce us to her first baby, our first grandchild. He became ill and I phoned our new surgery hoping for some advice but explaining that the patient was not a patient at the centre.
Within half an hour, Dr Mather made a home visit and reassured us all. He, and the centre, have been reliably present ever since. May we, therefore, take the occasion of the closure of the centre to record our thanks and appreciation for the unfailing sense of service of all the staff. We will miss them.
