Southern England NHS frontline services to receive £69m investment
A report on investments in North East Hampshire and Farnham, Surrey Heath and East Berkshire has highlighted that up to £69 million is set to be invested in frontline NHS services in southern England.
The funding will be used to improve waiting times, self-care services and creating 14 new ‘health hubs’ to provide weekend appointments, while an additional £11 million will be spend on improving mental health services.
David Coppinger, cabinet member for adult services and health at the Royal Borough of Maidenhead and Windsor, commented: “These proposals are all about investment in facilities in acute hospitals and community services, including GP practices.
"We are already doing what we can to make sure that our own staff and services match closely with what healthcare providers are doing, but this new plan will further strengthen those bonds."
Sir Andrew Morris, chief executive of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: "This is an exciting time for health and social care in our area.
"Our plan builds on the strong relationships already developed between councils and NHS organisations and it will make a real difference to care local people receive."
