Brentwood Local Plan 2016 - 2033 (Pre-Submission, Regulation 19)
Representation ID: 23239
Received: 21/03/2019
Respondent: Mid and South Essex STP
Within Brentwood administrative area, healthcare provision incorporates 9 GP Practices, 13 pharmacists, 9 dental surgeries, 10 Opticians, 2 community clinics and 2 community hospitals. Of the 9 GP Practices, 1 currently has limited capacity for growth and development. Existing health care services do not have capacity to accommodate significant growth and will require further investment and improvement in order to meet the needs of the planned growth shown in this LP document. The proposed developments would have an impact on healthcare provision in the area and its implications, if unmitigated, would be unsustainable.
