Neighbourhood Health Centres
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many neighbourhood health centres are planned under the 10 Year Capital Plan; and where they will be located.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The 10 Year Capital Plan will support progress towards the Government’s commitment to deliver 250 neighbourhood health centres by 2035, with 120 to be delivered by 2030.
27 sites have already been selected across England to bring care closer to home through a first wave of Neighbourhood Health Centre schemes. Locations for these sites can be found at the following link:

As set out in the 10-Year Capital Plan, integrated care boards are in the process of developing proposals for a further wave of Neighbourhood Health Centre schemes in their localities, based on their deep understanding of population need and local infrastructure requirements. This work will be supported by National Health Service regions, who will also play a central role in shaping a coherent pipeline of future neighbourhood health centres across their geography.
Further updates on scheme timelines and locations will be shared when this information becomes available.
