NHS England and the CCG will have further comments to make as details of specific developments become available. In order to provide a more detailed response, a clearer understanding of phasing and anticipated trajectory will be required.
Increase in the provision of assisted living developments and residential care homes, although a necessary feature of care provision and to be welcomed, can pose significant impacts on local primary care provision and it is important that planners and developers engage at a very early stage with the NHS, to plan and implement suitable mitigations.
It is also important we continue to be consulted in relation to emerging Neighbourhood Plans in order to work with local communities to deliver and maintain sustainable healthcare.
