In reviewing the context, content and recommendations of the LDP Document and its current phase of progression, the following comments are with regard to the Healthcare provision on behalf of NHS England - Midlands & East (NHSE) and NHS Property Services (NHSPS). Within Brnetwood Borough, healthcare provision incorporates a total of 9 GP Practices, 13 pharmacists, 10 dental surgeries, a community clinic and 2 community hospitals. These are the healthcare services available that this Local Development Plan must take into account in formulating future strategies. Growth, in terms of housing and employment, is proposed across a wide area and would likely have an impact on future service provision. Existing GP practices do not have capacity to accommodate significant growth.
