Plans to create a new ‘health and wellbeing centre’ in Kenilworth are underway, the councillor in charge of health in Warwickshire has revealed.<\/p>\n
Cllr Ann Marie Sonko confirmed this week that a new working group has been launched to consider opening more healthcare facilities in the town centre.<\/p>\n
The news comes as local residents and councillors raised concerns about the capacity at Abbey and Castle Medical Centres as hundreds of new houses are built in Kenilworth.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a public meeting this week, the portfolio holder for adult social care and health revealed: “Warwickshire County Council is involved in discussions; noting Warwick District Council is leading work with the primary care network and Coventry and Warwickshire ICB [integrated care board] on proposals to potentially to develop a health and wellbeing centre in Kenilworth.”<\/p>\n
Cllr Sonko said there was no timeline in place for when a healthcare centre could open, and as yet no location has been confirmed.<\/p>\n
“Warwick District Council was successful in obtaining OPE10 funding to conduct an options appraisal feasibility study for a health and wellbeing hub in Kenilworth town centre,” she continued.<\/p>\n
“This work includes assessing the current delivery sites for expansion opportunities and assessing wider health and community assets in the area for potential expansion opportunities and future use.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This planning work is being undertaken in line with the standard planning and design approach for healthcare buildings.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
