Hinckley Health Centre: Finance

Asked by Dr Luke EvansConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 14 April 2026UIN 124231

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Correspondence from the Minister of State for Care and Minister of State for Health and Secondary Care dated 26 March 2026 entitled 'NHS Neighbourhood Rebuild: next steps and how to contribute,' how much funding has been allocated for Hinckley Health Centre.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

In March, we announced Wave 1 of Neighbourhood Health Centre schemes, with 27 sites across England selected to bring care closer to home 12 hours a day, six days a week, backed by up to £50 million. The schemes will accelerate and build on existing efforts to deliver more integrated, accessible, and community-based care in areas of greatest need, through estates upgrades. These initial sites, including Hinckley, will lay the foundation for national rollout, as we work towards delivering 120 neighbourhood health centres across England by 2030.

Hinckley Health Centre has been allocated a provisional £300,000 for upgrades in 2026/27 to support delivery as a Neighbourhood Health Centre. This is subject to further design work and business case approval.
