A New Health Service for Liverpool
In 2007 Liverpool Primary Care Trust announced ambitious plans for new and improved primary care facilities that will deliver enhanced services in an expansion of community-based healthcare. The strategy had been informed by a wide-ranging year-long consultation, The Big Health Debate, which involved Liverpool patients, GPs, and other stakeholders.

"A New Health Service for Liverpool"sets out our commitment to:
- Provide more and better services in the community, so people only go to hospital when absolutely necessary
- Major investment to improve existing health facilities and to build new centres
- Improved access to healthcare, with extended opening hours and more patient-centred appointment systems
- Services in locations that are accessible by public transport and core services within a 15 minute walk for everyone in the city
- Investment in more community-based doctors, nurses and other health professionals
- Joined-up health services, bringing together more professionals in one location
We are currently consulting with individual communities across the city to ensure their specific health needs are met. For the latest information about your community's consultation please click here
