Community Diagnostic Centres

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which Community Diagnostic Centres patients could attend after being referred for a scan as of 30 April 2025; and what the addresses are of these locations.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The local community diagnostic centre (CDC) for patients in Shropshire is the Shrewsbury, Telford and Wrekin CDC. The CDC is located at Hollinswood House in Telford, TF3 3BD. Patients requiring tests will also be referred to other settings as appropriate, including local hospital sites. A list of all operational CDCs is published and available at the following link:

The Department and NHS England do not directly inform local providers or general practices (GPs) when CDCs open for referrals in the nearby area, but it is the expectation that each CDC and their host National Health Service trust does local engagement, including with local providers and GPs.
