    Can I only use my medical card with the doctor who signed my application form?
    There are days of the week when he is located in a diffent part of the area ? (and what about Sundays?)

    thanks but what if the surgery is shut on that day?
    And what is the after hours service? Is that limited to large city/town areas?

    GP Out of Hours Services

    This service operates for people who need to access a GP outside their own GP opening hours. Services usually operate from 6pm – 10pm Monday - Friday and 10am to 6pm at the weekends.


    Check here to see if your area has out of hours service
