Neighbourhood Health Centres: Public Private Partnerships
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, who is responsible for developing the business case for public-private partnerships in Neighbourhood Health Centres.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government announced in the 10 Year Infrastructure Strategy document on 19 June 2025, as well as in the 10-Year Health plan published on 3 July 2025, that it will explore the feasibility of using new Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) to deliver certain types of primary and community health infrastructure, including neighbourhood health centres. The business case is being co-developed by the Department of Health and Social Care and the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority. The decision on whether to proceed with the use of PPPs for neighbourhood health centres will be made by HM Treasury and relevant ministers by the 2025 Autumn Budget.
