Neighbourhood Health Centres will bring together GP services, community health, social care and wider support under one roof. The new centres will be open at least 12 hours a day, six days a week and GP leaders will be pivotal in shaping local proposals.

Neighbourhood Health Centres (NHCs) will be seen as the place to go for most health needs in every community. They will:

• bring together GP services with a mix of community, local authority and civil society sector services
• allow staff to join up care, which is better for people and communities
• make care easier to access and easier to deliver, while also reducing pressure on other parts of the system
