New homes and healthcare facilities
This fact sheet considers the relationship between new homes and healthcare facilities. It provides data on the recommended ratios of patients to GPs and looks at the link between the quality of homes and health outcomes. The fact sheet also provides information on other factors, aside from new homes, that affect local demand for healthcare facilities; and explains how the potential impact of new homes on healthcare facilities is assessed.
The development of the fact sheets series has involved consultation with local government officers, industry experts and community groups.
