Respondent: NHS South Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group

The Clinical Care Group welcomes the fact that health and health promoting policies/ building healthy communities is central to the Plan and wishes to continue to work with the Council regarding the development/ enhancement of primary health care in the District. In light of the additional housing (intended population increases) the following primary health care considerations are itemised below.
Key Messages:-
Existing primary medical care capacity in Warwick District will not be sufficient to meet the housing growth proposed in the modified Local Plan. The CCG will require suitable provisions put in place and adequate allowances made in the Section 106 and Community Infrastructure Levy work being undertaken by the District Council.
A collaborative approach between the CCG and the District Council will be needed in support of the above, having regard to the CCG's imminent Estate Strategy.
The CCG would welcome the opportunity to engage further with the District Council regarding what physical infrastructure projects/schemes will require support via Section 106 planning obligations or the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The CCG does not expect physical infrastructure (built space) to form the "whole solution" and wishes to explore what opportunities there are to support other means of delivering additional primary medical care capacity via Section 106 planning obligations or the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The CCG requests that the District Council keeps it informed regarding progress in relation to the implementation of the Community Infrastructure Levy. The CCG would expect to be fully engaged in this process, particularly in relation to the development of the final Regulation 123 List
