Appendix Thirteen: IFHCs - Facilities<br />
1. Aspirational statement:<br />
Facilities are renovated and/or created that best progress and support the new models of care,<br />
so as to improve the health of West Coasters.<br />
2 Problem definition<br />
<strong>Primary</strong> care facilities across the Coast vary enormously. In Greymouth and Westport, in<br />
particular, the location and/or nature of the buildings that house the primary services and<br />
workforce are problematic for delivering the desired model of care. In Greymouth, the three<br />
medical centres and other private providers including pharmacies are in different parts of town<br />
(and none is connected to the hospital). No medical centres have on-site or adjacent diagnostics<br />
or pharmacy. In Westport, the medical centre is located in old hospital buildings, with other<br />
community based services on the same campus, but widely separated by long corridors - the<br />
layout/location of services is a barrier to communication between services. Some individual<br />
centres are cramped for space. A number of facilties are old and don't comply with seismic<br />
regulations (Westport in particular).<br />
3 Objectives:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To integrate a variety of services alongside traditional general practice service, in line<br />
with the revised model of care and other workstreams<br />
To adapt facilities to best fit with the new ways of working, where this is feasible<br />
To purpose-build future-proofed facilities optimised for the new model of care where<br />
this is the best option and/or necessary<br />
