Luton health centre to be upgraded after new funding revealed
A medical centre in Luton will be one of 27 across the country to be upgraded after the Government announced new funding.
The improvements at the centre in Liverpool Road will be completed next year and mean there is more space for more clinical teams to work under the same roof.
Jan Thomas, CEO of the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board, said: “I’m delighted that we have been able to secure funding so that we can turn disused and poorly used space at some of our health centres into clinical areas and provide bases for our community health services.
“We look forward to launching our new ICB next week, publishing our new strategy, and getting on with the delivery: this means improving patient satisfaction, reducing the time spent waiting for care, and ensuring the NHS is financially sustainable.”
Health Minister Stephen Kinnock said the Government is “transforming healthcare”.
He added: ”These one-stop-shops will help end the maze of referrals and repeated conversations, treating not just poor health but the causes of it too.”
