Whitestone Integrated Care Facility

Glen Burley
Chief Executive George Eliot Hospital

'We are committed to the concept of integration across the health and social care systems. Moving services closer to home will release clincal space at the George Eliot hospital to meet the needs of the population growth cited in the borough plan.'

Cllr Jeff Morgan

'I completely support Dr Simon’s vision of an integrated care facility in the Whitestone area. For too long we have been under doctored and his plan would help attract new medical professionals to work here as well as relieving some pressure from the George Eliot hospital. The benefits to local residents would be considerable.'

Lawrence Dawson
Group Head of Social Prescription Research

'We support this integrated care facility bid. It gives us an excellent central location to work with a range of healthcare providers to attempt to standardise the development of new models of care pathways and managing clinical conditions.'

Letter of Support

Diane Kent
Former WS-PPG Chair

'This building will facilitate the delivery of services in a purpose built unit within the heart of our local community. It will allow you to prescibe and steer your own pathway of care through the services made available to you all in one building. If you want to socialise you can also do that. Much thought has been given to the holistic approach to health and well being in the development of this purpose built facility.'

'Whitestone integrated health facility is a excellent idea provided patient access to request or book appointments is also improved.'

'It would help reduce loneliness if the scheme included those who were not carers or the cared for but those who sit alone in their homes. This assumes that these people could reach the centre but perhaps a coach from a local charity could pick up'
