At the moment me and 2 DS's are registered with a brilliant GP surgery. However, we've since moved house and are no longer in their practice area. They've been fine with it for a while but are having lots of new houses built so now need to only see patients in the right area.
I'm happy to register with a GP surgery near to my new house, I was with them before and they were also really good. However, the surgery is next door to the care home that my ex MIL died in. My youngest DS cannot even go near the care home without having a meltdown. He has an autism diagnosis and also had to have grief counselling to help deal with the bereavement. I mistakenly went to pick up a prescription from the chemist there while he was in the car and he was traumatised, said I'd done it on purpose etc. There's no way he can go to that GP.
Also, the current GP are aware of DS's medical history.
My ex husband still lives in the practice area for the current GP. Would it be ok for me to register the kids at his address? They live with me, but do see him a couple of days a week, it's not 50/50.
How does funding work for GP's? Is it simply based on providing an address? Would ex-h have to say on his council tax that the kids live with him? If that's the case then we wouldn't be doing it as they don't. I don't want to do anything that "cheats the system", or that could cause problems further down the line for me or for the GP surgery, but at the same time, I'd rather register with a surgery I trust than have to find a new one.
