Projects to improve access to primary care are among the STP schemes to share in more than £300m of NHS capital announced this week.
The STPs for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and North East Essex and for Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire and Luton were all successful in their primary care bids for a share of £325m of funding announced in the budget in March.
Our CEO, Jonathan Murphy, says: “Demand for NHS capital far outstrips supply but it’s positive to see these schemes securing support. A common thread through every STP is that primary care is at the very centre of the changes they’re all trying to make. But without the right infrastructure in the right places, the plans won’t be able to reach their full potential to bring care closer to home.”
