GP Surgeries: Huntingdon
(asked on 8th May 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the press release entitled GP surgery refurbs to enable over 8 million more appointments, published on 6 May 2025, which GP surgeries will receive funding to (a) expand their premises and (b) upgrade storage rooms into consultation areas in Huntingdon constituency.
On 6 May 2025, the Government announced which primary care schemes are in line to receive funding from the £102 million Primary Care Utilisation and Modernisation Fund, in order to deliver upgrades this financial year to more than a thousand general practice (GP) surgeries across England.
These schemes will create additional clinical space within existing building footprints to enable practices to see more patients, boost productivity, and improve patient care. It represents the biggest investment in GP facilities in five years, and forms part of the Government’s plan to shift care out of hospitals and into the community.
The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board has prioritised the Orchard Surgery in the Huntingdon constituency within its allocation, and it is in line to receive a share of the £102 million. This will bring tangible benefits for patients of Huntingdon, and I know will be welcome news to you and your constituents.
