Representation Summary:

NHS England are not dispensing new primary care contracts currently so the opportunities of establishing a new health centre in the Ipswich Garden Suburb are severely reduced. Despite the relatively large size of the garden suburb development, primary care will be provided for the new patients at both Two Rivers Medical Centre and the new health centre proposed at the Tooks Bakery site. Community health services might be provided closer to the development but discussions would need to be had with the Alliance partners.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove "healthcare provision" from policy wording for the district centre element and update to reflect the absorption of capacity at Tooks/ Two Rivers Medical Centres.
