Neighbourhood Health Centres: Ely and East Cambridgeshire

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will commission a Neighbourhood Health Centre for Ely and East Cambridgeshire constituency.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The 10-Year Health Plan sets out our vision for a Neighbourhood Health Service. Neighbourhood health centres will provide easier, more convenient access to a full range of health and care services in each community and on people’s doorsteps, joining up National Health Service, local authority, and voluntary services in one building to help create a holistic offer that meets the needs of local populations.

We expect neighbourhood teams and services to be designed in a way that reflects the specific needs of local populations. While the focus on personalised, coordinated care will be consistent, that will mean the service will look different in rural communities, coastal towns, and deprived inner cities.
