The doctors say that withdrawing the practice in Glasgow would have 'significant negative consequences'.

The Deep End Group said the decision to close the practice was made without any assessment of the impact on patients.The group of GPs have said a specific service for patients who frequently moved address or did not find it easy to access mainstream healthcare was a vital safety net.

Dr Carey Lunan, who chairs the group, said: "News of the closure of the Hunter Street homeless practice, which provided specialist care for some of Glasgow's most vulnerable people, has been met with shock and sadness from the clinicians caring for these patients, and most crucially, from the patients themselves.

Assistant chief officer Pat Togher said "I am pleased to announce the recent changes to the complex needs service and I look forward to joined-up working across the whole service, wider HSCP, community-based services, third-sector colleagues and those with lived experience to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable people in Glasgow."
