Respondent: NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System

Proposed sites in Barford and Swardeston will increase pressure on already constrained GP practices in Hethersett and Mulbarton, these Practices are part of the Humbleyard GP practice group. There are discussions currently ongoing between the Council and GP practices regarding mitigation for the amount of population growth these areas have already seen and that will be happening in the near future.

The ambulance service, EEAST, are in a unique position that intersects health, transport and community safety and does not have capacity to accommodate the additional growth resulting from the proposed development combined with other developments in the vicinity. This development is likely to increase demand upon existing constrained ambulance services and nationally set blue light response times. The capital required through developer contribution would form a proportion of the required funding for the provision of capacity to absorb the patient growth and demand generated by this development. Any funding would be used towards the capital cost of providing new additional ambulances and/or new additional medical equipment, which for an ambulance service is their physical infrastructure, and/or new additional parking space(s) for ambulances at existing ambulance stations.
