As part of my ongoing extensive work regarding local healthcare provision, I was pleased to meet with Senior Leadership figures from the Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board, including its Chief Executive, Toby Sanders, to discuss the challenges that our local healthcare services face, including around waiting times, GP access and dentistry provision. It was a productive meeting, and, with the recent announcement of the new Community Diagnostic Centre for Corby at the Cottingham Road complex, it was good to get an update on the thinking around the difference this key infrastructure upgrade will make. We also touched on the continued, ongoing commitment to Corby Urgent Care Centre, which is of course hugely welcome. The ICB is also set to assume responsibility for dentistry from NHS England this month and so it was helpful to be able to outline the pressing nature of local concerns being raised about this and the need to see commitments made around additional capacity seen through - and likewise with GP access. The meeting also afforded some helpful insights for me to feed back to my ministerial colleagues at the Department of Health and Social Care, not least following the Secretary of State's visit to Kettering General Hospital last summer, where the KGH new buildings project was discussed - suffice to say we are all united in wanting to work together to drive this forward. I will of course continue to monitor the situation closely across our various health services and facilities, and feed in local views, whilst doing all I can to see additional improvements made to our local health services landscape, building on the successes we have had to date to improve the infrastructure and add capacity.
