  Maybe the low usage was due to people not knowing it existed?

  The article says that patients will have to use the out of hours GP services at Buckland or Margate but the Buckland website makes no mention of having this service. I would have thought Doctor's surgeries would mention this on their notice board or front door.

  "Sorry, the article you have requested is no longer available."
  
  Did they get their facts wrong?

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  They will look pretty silly if they have got it wrong as it was a front page story for the East Kent Mercury.
