While praising the Government's 10-Year Health Plan focus on prevention and the shift to analogue, chair of the LGA's Health and Wellbeing Committee Cllr Wendy Taylor says she has a ‘big concern' about its neighbourhood health proposals.
‘What we don't want to see is a lot of shiny new buildings,' she says. ‘What we actually want to see is proper integration of the people who work in health and wellbeing to make sure that we actually can find somewhere that people can come for support, whatever they need. Local government has to be at the centre of this.
