Neighbourhood Health Centres: Health Professions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the 10 Year Health Plan for England, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of using (a) chiropractors and (b) other wider healthcare professionals to support the NHS in delivering neighbourhood health centres.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Neighbourhood health centres will provide easier, more convenient access to a full range of healthcare services on people’s doorsteps, and patients will be treated and cared for closer to their home by new teams of healthcare professionals.
We have launched the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme (NNHIP). The NNHIP will support systems across the country to test new ways of working, share learning, and scale what works. This programme will inform future strategy and policy development, and outcome metrics will be rigorously monitored.
