Health centre £6.8m plan approved

Plans to build a £6.8m health centre in Warwickshire have been given first stage approval by NHS board members.

NHS Warwickshire has approved plans to replace Alcester Community Hospital and amalgamate local GP surgeries in a new centre in Kinwarton Road, Alcester.

The centre would include physiotherapy, district nursing and hospital outpatient services too.

Building work could start in 2010 if the strategic health authority, NHS West Midlands, gives final approval.

Bryan Stoten, chairman of NHS Warwickshire, said the centre would offer diagnostic services too, using X-ray and ultrasound technology.

He added: "This project has been a long time in the planning but I am enormously pleased that after detailed work with the local community it is now to go ahead."
