Priti Patel, Conservative Party Parliamentary Candidate for Witham, has welcomed the decision taken by the Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group to agree a preferred site for a new multipurpose healthcare centre in Witham.
Priti has campaigned for a new healthcare centre, working with the NHS and local councils to bring this project forward. A lease will now need to be worked out for the site.
Priti said:
"The identification of a site for the new healthcare centre is a significant step forward in getting this important project delivered.
"I have campaigned for a new multipurpose and fully integrated healthcare centre for Witham and have been working closely with the NHS and local council to highlight the importance of this new facility for local people."
She added:
"A new healthcare centre will support the needs of a growing population, improve access to new, necessary services, and secure provision for the local community."
