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. Mitigation for the increase in patients from the proposed Ipswich Garden Suburb will be spread between Two Rivers Medical Practice and the new healthcare facility at Tooks.

The possibility of issues arising from developments near to local authority boundaries with regards to healthcare provision is prevalent in the LP. The developments of Ipswich Suburb, continued development of Ravenswood and Whitton are examples of these possible cross boundary developments. Communication and cooperation will be vital in making sure that all appropriate stakeholders are aware of developments and mitigation can be sought in a timely manner. Cooperation will be required between the CCG, IBC, SCDC and BMSDC to make sure that the land North of Ipswich in both local plans is accounted for in mitigating health.

Objective 9 - While we recognise that neighbourhood planning would ideally like to promote community facilities located in or within 800m of a centre this is not always possible with primary care provision. The CCG would not be able to endorse the objective and would look at expanding current surgeries or co-locating surgeries to mitigate against projected patient numbers. Options are currently being looked at for the larger proposed developments as to how to provide primary healthcare.

Objective 12 - Welcome opportunity to work closely with ISPA officers to allow a more holistic view of strategic planning going forward.

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.
