Next steps following an application from Llanfyllin Group Practice to close Llanrhaeadr Medical Centre

Powys Teaching Health Board has received an application from the Llanfyllin Group Practice to close their GP branch surgery in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant.

The practice’s reason for submitting the application is that they consider their multi-site rural practice model to be financially unsustainable under the current national General Medical Services funding model in Wales.  

The application is being considered in accordance with the Health Board Branch Practice Review Process. This process ensures that applications for branch closures are given careful and thorough consideration before any decisions are made on the way forward.

The Branch Practice Review includes: 

  • Receiving and reviewing the application from the practice
  • Sharing information with you as patients and wider stakeholders to seek your views
  • Engaging with Llais, the statutory body representing the interests of patients and the public
  • Conscientiously considering the feedback received and taking this into account when deciding on the application at a future meeting, in public, of Powys Teaching Health Board

The period of engagement took place from 20 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Thank you for the feedback we received. We are conscientiously considering the feedback received and will take this into account when deciding on the application at a future meeting, in public, of Powys Teaching Health Board. We currently expect to consider this recommendation in December.

A copy of the papers will be available in advance of the meeting from our website at https://pthb.nhs.wales/about-us/the-board/board-meetings/ Our Board meetings currently take place online via Microsoft Teams, and this page will also include instructions on how to join the proceedings.
