Health Services
We would draw attention to the parlous state of primary health care in this and the surrounding area covered by Alyn Family Doctors (AFD). Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic the local doctor’s practice was unable to cope with the high numbers of patients coming on to its register. The AFD practice already covers Gresford, Llay, Marford, Rossett and some extra 1000 patients over the border in Cheshire.
With nearly 500 properties already under construction in the area, all of which are hoping to register with the practice for their health care, it is uncertain whether any of those or any new patients in Rossett can/will be added to the patient register.
In 2018 AFD announced that they were consulting on moving their Gresford Surgery/Health Centre services to Llay and Rossett due to safety concerns. If this transpires then it will place further pressure on the Rossett Surgery which is based in a small terraced house. Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions the AFD practices are only operating face-to-face consultations from the Llay Health Centre.

The Gresford Health Centre is some 2.3 miles from the Llay Health Centre and Rossett is 3 miles away – There are no bus services between Llay and Gresford, or Llay and Rossett!
