Wiltsshire Police have decided to discontinue the two special phone lines set up by for the patients of Dr Davinder Jeet Bains.
Bains, 45, was arrested by police earlier this month and subsequently charged with a total of six offences, four of which allegedly took place at Tinkers Lane Surgery, in Royal Wootton Bassett, where he worked as a GP.
The special phone lines were opened to ensure that any patients who had concerns and wanted to speak to Wiltshire Police could get through without delay.
In a statement police said: "We now feel that we can handle any further calls through our normal non emergency number of 101."
The special phone line set up by NHS Wiltshire for patients of Dr Bains continues to operate. It is 03456 029907 and the phone lines are open between 8am and 8pm seven days a week.
