In terms of optimal space requirements to encourage a full range of services to be delivered within the community there is an overall capacity deficit, based on weighted patient list sizes, within the 13 GP Practices and 2 branch surgeries providing services in the area.

NHS England working with the CCG, Local Authorities and local stakeholders has begun to address Primary Care capacity issues in the area and currently have projects to increase capacity underway across the Ipswich Borough Council area. These projects vary in size and will initially deliver additional capacity to meet previously identified growth requirements.
