Health Services in the Dulwich area - update

A presentation from representatives of the Southwark NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) who will talk about progress on the plans for the new health centre on the Dulwich Hospital site. Also NHS Property Services will talk about the rest of the site.

Minutes:

Rebecca Scott, programme director from NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning group was at the meeting and gave an overview of the following:

 

Progress since January 2015

 

·  Model of services agreed following engagement and consultation. The decision was that there would be a new build on the SE corner of the Dulwich Hospital site.

 

·  That there would be a LIFT building, developed under a “land retained agreement” South London Health Partnerships would rent the land from the NHS and build the health centre.

 

·  The NHS would lease it from South London Health Partnerships for 25 years, after which the building would be returned to public ownership.

 

Design process

 

NHS Southwark CCG has agreed the basis of the budget for the building, which means they could progress with the design of the building. 

 

The first design workshop was held in July 2015 and over 60 participants including a wide range of patients, clinicians, and voluntary sector organisations attended the workshop.

 

The workshop and consultation would also help the design team decide on the services that need to be located within the building.

 

Rest of the Hospital site

 

NHS Property Services were engaged in on going discussions with the Education Funding Agency and the Charter School Trust:

 

Safeguarding the health services

 

  Existing services would stay on the site until new accommodation was completed;

  There would be a separation of the health services from construction activities, with separate entrances throughout.

  There also would be separate entrances for health and education facilities.
