Government officials have been asked to investigate what went wrong at the collapsing organisation in charge of Norwich's NHS walk-in centre.

One Norwich Practices (ONP) announced in October it is winding down, leaving health bosses scrambling to find a replacement provider for its services.

The organisation currently runs the city's walk-in centre, as well as vulnerable adult services and the GP surgery on Rouen Road, Norwich's biggest practice.

But after it was revealed that ONP had become financially unsustainable, it was announced it would be closing down.

Now, the government has been urged to carry out an investigation into what went wrong at the company.

In a written question to health minister Lord Markham, former Green Party leader Baroness Bennett asked whether the government will "conduct an investigation into the board of that company and its management of services".

In response, Lord Markam wrote: "Norfolk and Waveney integrated care board and One Norwich Practices have been working constructively to identify appropriate alternative providers and develop plans to transfer services and staff.

"The ICB's immediate priorities are to ensure that disruption to patient care is minimised and to protect the wellbeing of staff at One Norwich Practices.

"Once these immediate priorities are addressed, the ICB will be in a position to undertake its own internal review of the circumstances that may have contributed to One Norwich Practices' insolvency."

It comes following calls from city councillor Lucy Galvin, also of the Green Party, for a full public inquiry into the collapse of the organisation.

She said: "What happened at One Norwich is in need of urgent investigation.

"It seems to be chaotic way to run such an important service and we are all left wondering what has gone so very wrong."

NHS Norfolk and Waveney has previously said announcements over future providers to replace ONP will be made in the coming days.
