SERVICES: A new medical centre for Felixstowe has won the support of NHS Suffolk.
It will replace the Central Surgery on Hamilton Road and will be sited in Grove Road, complementing services already provided by the Felixstowe Community Hospital.
Building work is expected to begin in autumn 2012.
A Shelford Group trust is seeking further financial support from the Department of Health and Social Care after forecasting a deficit of almost £100m.
Implementing the forthcoming long term plan for the NHS will require up to £13bn in IT spending over the next five years, according to official estimates, HSJ can reveal.
The government’s funding settlement will leave the NHS with an efficiency challenge of around £11bn – which is half the amount that was required in the Five Year Forward View period, according to a new analysis.
