Government Confirms 250 Neighbourhood Health Centres and £300 Million for NHS Tech

The rollout prioritises deprived communities by colocating primary care with clinics to move more treatment into neighborhoods.

Overview

  • Delivery will repurpose existing estate alongside new builds under the NHS Neighbourhood Rebuild programme, with more than 100 centres due by 2030.
  • Projects will use a mix of public investment and public‑private partnerships, with private finance only where value for money is demonstrated.
  • Early phases target areas with the highest deprivation, focusing on easier access to general practice and support for people with long‑term conditions such as diabetes and heart failure.
  • The £300 million technology package will roll out tools that automate administrative tasks, speed access to patient records and improve staff communication to raise productivity.
  • Initial examples include refurbishments at Alfred Barrow Health Centre in Barrow‑in‑Furness, Stockland Green and Summerfield Primary Care Centres in Birmingham, and Jubilee Gardens in Ealing.
