A long awaited new 24-hour health centre for Horwich is set to be built after planning was approved.
Bolton Council’s planning committee unanimously backed plans for a new healthcare facility, on the site of the former leisure centre, which would replace three existing medical practices in Horwich, which have been considered to be no longer fit for purpose.
Documents to be put before members of planning state ‘the development would deliver primary care to Horwich residents in a more integrated, joined up manner’ and ‘support the shift in services from hospital to community settings’. The building would include a pharmacy and would officer a wide range of medical facilities and services.
