The details were announced in a post on the NHS Norfolk and Waveney website and by local media.

The NHS is running a consultation as the current contract with Toftwood Medical Centre for providing GP services is expiring on 31 March 2025.
With the contract end approaching, NHS Norfolk and Waveney has reviewed the service and it feels the best way forward is to close the centre, transferring patients to the nearby Orchard Surgery and Theatre Royal Surgery, both in Dereham, from April 1, 2025.
Before any decisions are made, it wants to gather people’s views and will publish a report highlighting the feedback from the local community on its website.
