Welcome support of primary care infrastructure and will always provide facilities that meets the needs of patients but policy of building near the town centre, district or local centre will be difficult. Surgeries have catchment areas and these might conflict with district or local centres. Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are being introduced to provide a variety of services through surgeries working together and this could influence the location of any new health facility. The OPE platform is available to make sure that all public buildings are fully utilised. Feasibility studies are being produced to find an estate strategy for Ipswich.
