Respondent: Ipswich & East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group & West Suffolk CCG

Ipswich & East Suffolk CCG would like to raise the importance of creating essential NHS worker housing in the LP to help reduce workforce shortages in the locality.

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.
