Child dr

Hi,
I've recently moved house from Wales to England. I still work in Wales 5 days a week and my child goes to my mothers.

I want to keep her dr in wales as we are there 5 days a week and I'm registered temporary in England, say I couldn't travel and she needed to be seen.

Shes having on going treatment from the dr I'm with. I dont want to change they are a really good dr but is what I'm doing allowed? I understand in England you have to pay for prescriptions which wouldn't bother me. Should I explain the situation to the dr that I have moved address but me and my child are in the area five days a week?

If I just leave it how it is without changing my address is this illegal?

Thanks in advance.

I live in England, but I know my old GP practice couldn't keep us on once we moved and our address changed. Old practice was 5 minutes in one way, new one was 5 minutes in the other way, but we fell out of their catchment. I think it had to do with not being able to receive funding for us on their books. I think it comes down to having a conversation with them. You'll need to update your records. They may them not be able to keep you on.
