Another step closer to seeing our residents receiving the facilities they deserve🫶🌟🫶
In my regular meeting with the ICB, I received an update from the NHS Integrated Care Board on plans for a Health Centre in Eastwood.
£250,000 has been allocated to develop a business case, and work is underway to design a Neighbourhood Health Centre that could bring together GP services, community healthcare and other local services for Eastwood and Giltbrook.
The business case is an important stage in ensuring that the ICB and Broxtowe Borough Council proposal is deliverable and aligns with the government's 10 Year Plan for the NHS. New government capital funds have enabled this plan to move forward, and I am pleased to hear that this stage should be completed around March 27.
From the ICB: “We remain committed to improving health facilities in Eastwood, which is one of our highest priorities for future primary care estate investment, and we have allocated £250,000 this year to develop the business case with Broxtowe Borough Council. That work is an important step towards developing a deliverable scheme and securing the capital investment necessary to take it forward.”
There is still work to do around the site's layout and funding, but it's encouraging to see real progress being made. I'll continue to press for improved local healthcare facilities and keep residents informed.
