The standard mechanism for calculating costs for new NHS facilities does not perfectly fit the way in which the Mid and South Essex STP envisages services will be provided in the future. Therefore, whilst we can use the standard mechanism for calculating costs to provide an estimated funding gap, this does not necessarily mean that a new or extended building will be provided at each and every new development allocation.

Due to the increase in population Basildon hospital will need to expand their specialist services across the acute footprint to accommodate this predicted growth. The infrastructure costs are estimated at £15.5m (over the planned period) based on a dwelling of 2.4 (Census) at £3013 per dwelling. This figure is worked out on current infrastructure costs for a size of population. BTUH will be seeking developer's contributions for this.

Funding Sources: NHS capital funding is extremely limited. For the provision of new healthcare facilities there are various non NHS capital funding options. Revenue consequences of any infrastructure works would need to be carefully considered and all primary care estates projects are subject to the NHS England prioritisation and approval process. Delivery of, or contributions to, new health care facilities will be sought from developers as part of mitigation and is a prerequisite to delivery of sustainable development.

There are numerous options for capital funding for health Commissioning Group projects via public or private sector. The key issues with regard to increasing capacity by means of physical infrastructure is revenue affordability and workforce. It's also important to consider growth in light of planned strategic projects for the whole local health economy.

The total cost of additional health facilities and expansion of existing facilities to support the growth identified in the strategic locations within the Local Plan based on current formula is approximately £6m. Given the capacity requirement of the existing population for healthcare services, and costs associated with providing infrastructure to meet those needs, it's likely that the costs associated with growth as identified in the Local Plan (£3m) will need to be met in full through planning contributions to ensure sufficient primary care facilities in Brentwood for the Local Plan period to 2034 to which the CIL could be charged.
