Social care for both adults and children is provided by Essex County Council (ECC). This covers a range of functions and services and is provided by a range of different providers. Essex County Council can make specific provision of built infrastructure for care services, e.g. extra care.

Responsibility for public health was moved out of the NHS into local government in April 2013. Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) promote co-operation from leaders in the health and social care system to improve the health and wellbeing of their local population and reduce health inequalities. HWBs are responsible for producing a Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategies (JHWS), Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNA) and Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments (PNA) for the Basildon borough area.

Ambulance Services: East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) Estates Strategy proposes that transformation of estate takes place in accordance with the following:
* Configuration of the estate as necessary to meet a vision to provide cost effective and efficient premises of the right size, location and condition to support the delivery of clinical care to the community served by the Trust.
Resulting Regional estate configuration consists of:
* A network of 18 ambulance 'hubs'
* Each 'hub' will support a 'cluster' of community ambulance stations, tailored to meet service delivery and patient response specific to their local area

GP Needs: Generally the NHS policy locally is to attempt to accommodate growth wherever possible within the current premises envelope, and only to seek new premises where this is demonstrably necessary.
It is not possible to accurately determine the build cost or size of new health facilities at this stage. This will depend on a large number of complex and inter-related factors that can only be resolved at a more advanced stage in the planning process. It will not be the case that each new health facility would be a fixed size or would have a fixed range of services.

The proposed growth in Brentwood borough may require provision of a new Health Care infrastructure.

Timing and nature of future provision: The necessary provision should be delivered as new growth comes forward to ensure that health care impacts are appropriately mitigated. The IDP identifies a series of infrastructure requirements, either in the form of expansion or improvement to existing or provision of new health care facilities. The exact quantum of space and the nature of the requirement will need to be discussed at the point of the development of specific proposals.

Healthcare services and models of care are consistently under review and are likely. Over the plan period, health care provision will need investment. It is likely it will be in very different forms than the buildings that have traditionally been developed. It will be important that requirements are reviewed regularly as part of the IDP iterative process. It is important that local authorities and developers liaise with health commissioners at the earliest possible stage in order to understand what type of provision will fit most appropriately with local needs.

Infrastructure Costs: NHS England has advised against the use of standard cost estimates as costs can rise over time and can be out of sync when it comes to delivering the infrastructure on the ground. Whilst the IDP has used standard cost estimates in order to gauge the overall funding requirements to improve capacity in health services, the IDP is intended to be a 'living' document that will be updated over the lifetime of the Local Plan and therefore the costs contained in this section come with the caveat that they may be subject to change over time.

CCG has provided details of optimal space requirements for a number of Practices, Clinics and other CCG Premises in Brentwood, including details of capital required to create additional floor space at each one. The cost averages out at approximately £2,300/m² to improve, reconfigure or build new primary care infrastructure. If all the space requirements to meet existing capacity deficits were to be completed, this would require approximately £4m. For the proposed Strategic Allocation, if we take the CCG's assumption that for every additional 1,750 people 120m² of additional space is required, the approximate costs for the upgrades are approximately £3m.
