Six major health and social care centres being built in Wolverhampton will transform the way services are delivered.
Developed by Wolverhampton City Council and Wolverhampton City Primary Care Trust, three of the buildings will house primary health and social care services, including GP surgeries, the other three will be combined community health and mental health resource centres.
The first of the centres is due to open in 2010, with the rest following over the next three years.
The buildings are part of a wider £90million programme of investment across the city to provide community and primary care services for residents, including older people and people with mental health needs.
Plans include improving access and providing a one stop service where people can see their GP and receive a range of additional services such as diabetes care, physiotherapy, social care and general advice on health and well being.
The focus will be on delivering a range of services away from a hospital site and helping people remain independent for as long as possible.
Updates on progress of the developments are provided in the Care Closer to Home newsletter.
