New Community Health Centre in Ashton - update

Wigan Borough Clinical Commissioning Group gave its support to the development of a new health facility in Ashton at its January Board meeting. Due to the major changes taking place in the NHS from 1st April, this scheme will now be progressed by NHS Property Services Ltd who will be taking a lead on the majority of developments of NHS property.

The CCG remain committed to supporting the Ashton development and will continue to work with NHS Property Services Ltd to move the scheme forward as quickly as possible. The preferred site for the new development remains Ashton Town Hall and we will be working with NHSPS and the Local Authority to secure the site if the scheme is formally approved.
