Update on Dulwich Health Centre and Hospital site

Presented jointly by NHS Southwark CCG and NHS Property Services.

 

(Rebecca Scott) (15 minutes) presentation and questions.

Minutes:

Rebecca Scott, programme director NHS clinical commissioning group (CCG), Malcolm Hind and Andrew Strange from NHS property services provided an update and summary on the Dulwich health centre and hospital site which had now been approved by NHS England.

 

·  In 2013 they had consulted with local people on the two options about the kind of health services that were needed. 

 

·  The feedback that was received was to have a health centre.

 

·  A firm of architects were compiling a business case. The business case would determine whether the centre should be refurbished or if it should be a new build.

 

·  An analysis of where the health centre should be would be looked at – an option was the south east corner of the site.

 

·  Produce a financial appraisal that would include – timescales to build the health centre and the cost to build or refurbish. The plan was that it should be completed by 2017.

 

·  The council would need to look at proposals for the rest of the site.

 

·  NHS capital funding – a small amount of capital funding would be used for the development of the centre.

 

·  Some services like Seldoc would remain on the site.

 

·  Time frame for planning permission would be approximately 3 months, subject to a survey, community impact statements and the business case.

 

It was noted that a further update would be at a future community council possibly in the summer.
