Community Diagnostic Centres: Hinckley

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a community diagnostics centre in Hinckley.

Answer

NHS England works with local systems to prioritise bids for future community diagnostic centre (CDC) sites and assesses business cases. The locations of further CDCs will be announced in due course, with completion dates dependent on the nature of each project. The Department and NHS England continue to develop plans to increase the number of CDCs to 160 by March 2025.

Local health system planners are responsible for determining local health infrastructure in collaboration with NHS England. From 2022/23 to 2024/25, £12 billion of operational capital will be provided to the National Health Service. NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board will consider how this funding is allocated in the local area, including any assessment of the merits of a day case unit at Hinckley.
