RBS funding £6.5m health enterprise

The project, led by Community Ventures South Kirkby, involves the construction of a modern primary care centre in South Kirk-by.

The development, which will cost £6.5m, is being funded by RBS Healthcare. The centre, which is due to open in April 2013, will deliver a range of community-based services including a dental surgery, and a shop along with car parking facilities.

It will also become home to two GP practices.

Dean Spencer, the development director at Community Ventures, said: “This is a fresh and exciting development providing key services to the local community in a modern and efficient way.

“It’s a significant project for Community Ventures as it demonstrates effective partnership working between us and a number of parties, including GP practices, local NHS services, Miller Construction, and RBS.”
