MONTHS of speculation have ended at Bow with the appointment of Dr Andrew Bower to take over the village medical practice, based in the temporary units off Godfreys Gardens.

Dr Bower has worked in Bow for two years. In a letter to all patients the PCT said that after "a rigourous selection process" the position of the medical services contract at Bow had been jointly awarded to Dr Bower and Devon Health Limited who would start to provide the service on June 1.
