Trust plans 'super-surgery'

The former site of the Baseball Ground in Derby could become the location for a major new health centre.

The government has agreed to pay for three new doctors and three new nurses.

The Central Derby Primary Care Trust has earmarked the former home of Derby County as a possible site for a new 'super-surgery', which could cost more than a million pounds to build.

As well as doctors, it is hoped it could house dentistry, chiropody and other services.

The practice would be able to take 5,500 patients from Normanton and Pear Tree.

It would be located less than a mile from the Sale Street surgery which closed to its 1,500 patients to make way for a service aimed at asylum seekers.
