Bexley GP surgery to get 360k to help reduce wait times
Briefly

Bexley Council is allocating £359,196 to Crayford Town Surgery to enhance clinical capacity and reduce appointment waiting times. The funding comes from unallocated Section 106 contributions of the Electrobase site redevelopment project, which will add 559 new homes. The NHS South East London ICB requested this financial support to create two new clinic rooms. This investment will facilitate increased patient capacity and improved joined-up primary care services to meet the needs of the growing local population.
Bexley Council has confirmed it will give a grant of 359,196 to Crayford Town Surgery to implement work which will see the creation of two new clinic rooms.
The ICB considers that the S106 funds will cover the entire project which aims to increase patient capacity through reconfiguration and through the constitution of two new clinic rooms.
Investment received because of the Electrobase residential development Section 106 contributions, will allow Crayford Town Surgery to reconfigure and refurbish its current site.
This investment will enable the surgery to increase its clinical capacity (GPs and multi-professional clinicians) and meet the health and care needs of the new population moving into the Electrobase residential development.
