Background<br />
11.1 This is one of two applications submitted by the <strong>Hartlepool</strong> and North Tees<br />
Primary Health Trust for the siting of a temporary doctors surgery at the Fens<br />
Shopping Parade.<br />
11.2 The two applications are 2 options to provide the required accommodation and<br />
follow a recent planning approval (H/2008/0570) for the change of use of 424 – 426<br />
Catcote Road (on the shopping parade) to a permanent GP Surgery.<br />
11.3 The applicant has given the following information as background to this<br />
application:<br />
11.3.1 Our NHS Our Future, and the Darzi Interim NHS Next Stage<br />
Review (NSR) emphasised the need to develop care outside of hospitals and<br />
in particular prioritised improvements in access to GP led primary care<br />
services. There was a commitment to establish at least 150 GP led health<br />
centres as well as 100 new GP practices in areas of greatest need and so<br />
<strong>Hartlepool</strong> PCT is tasked to develop 1 health centre and 2 additional GP<br />
practices.<br />
11.3.2 Procurements have been taking place over the last year to ensure<br />
that services commence on 1st April 2009. This has always been a very<br />
challenging timescale.<br />
11.3.3 A 13 week consultation process completed on 4 August 2008 was<br />
designed to ensure that the proposals are reflective of local need and views<br />
and opinions have been collected from a number of stakeholders including<br />
the local population, Practice Based Commissioning groups, GP practices,<br />
feedback from prior consultations and a range of departments and individuals<br />
across both the PCT and local authority.<br />
11.3.4 The outcome of the consultations led to the recommendation to site<br />
one of the GP practices in the Fens Ward. A shop unit within the Local<br />
Centre (424 – 426) was identified and planning permission for change of use<br />
