How to ensure enrolled patients are no longer enrolled when leaving a practice

Gregory Soar made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was partially successful.

From: Gregory Soar

Dear Ministry of Health,

I wish to ensure my enrolment at my former GP medical clinic is ended after deciding not to return due safety concerns.

How do patients ensure they are no longer enrolled if leaving a medical practice and NOT enrolling elsewhere?

Yours faithfully,

Gregory Soar
