Neighbourhood Health Centres

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the oral answer of 23 July 2024 from the Minister for Secondary Care, Official Report, column 510, whether he plans to announce further steps on the delivery of neighbourhood health centres.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

As my Rt hon. Friend the Minister for Secondary Care sets out, we have committed to trialling Neighbourhood Health Centres to bring together a range of services under one roof. This is part of our broader ambition to move towards a Neighbourhood Health Service, with more care delivered in local communities to spot problems earlier. We are working with officials to determine the next steps internally, and will provide further updates in due course.
