Kirkcaldy Health Centre is expected to remain closed for the rest of the week due to “urgent gas works”.
Surgeries run by Dr Egerton and Partners, Dr Morris and Partners and Drs Mitchell, Morris and Fordyce were affected.
NHS Fife said the closure was as a result of ongoing gas maintenance taking place nearby.
It has now been confirmed the centre will “likely” remain closed for the rest of the week, to ensure the safety of staff and patients.
A statement from the health board said: “Due to ongoing urgent gas works and to ensure the safety of staff and patients, Kirkcaldy Health Centre will likely remain closed for the rest of this week.
“The work is related to issues arising from gas maintenance that was taking place near the site.
