The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on the provision of Neighbourhood Health Centres in new housing developments.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

MHCLG Ministers and officials engage regularly with the Department for Health and Social Care about infrastructure provision.

The new National Planning Policy Framework we recently consulted upon stresses the importance of all forms of public services infrastructure being secured in instances where development could have a significant impact on the number of people needing those services.

We are currently analysing the feedback received and will publish our response in due course.
