Agree. In situations like yours (which is not unusual) it looks like the most likely outcome

Ben Gowland Digital and Tech GP Thanks Ben. Very interesting. The aligning of community and PCN footprints presents a significant geographical challenge for some. I can't see community services, who have been aligned with borough council footprints around us, changing which leaves PCNs...
