Policies should be explicit in that contributions towards healthcare provision will be obtained and the Local Planning Authority will consider a development's sustainability with regard to effective healthcare provision. The exact nature and scale of the contribution and the subsequent expenditure by the STP will be calculated at an appropriate time as and if schemes come forward over the plan period to realise the objectives of the LP.
