Currently healthcare provision incorporates a total of 13 GP Practices (many of which include health centres) and 2 branch surgeries, 36 pharmacists, 26 dental surgeries, 20 opticians, 0 community hospitals and 6 clinics. These are the healthcare services that the LP must take into account in formulating future strategies.

Growth, in terms of housing and employment, is proposed across a wide area and would likely have an impact on future healthcare service provision. This response relates to the impact on primary care services only. As a rule existing GP practices in the area do not have capacity to accommodate significant-growth.
