The house-building boom around East Calder has thrown a spotlight on an issue that communities across West Lothian are facing - GP services cannot keep up with growing communities .
In the latest report to the Integration Joint Board, the Health and Social Care Partnership chief officer acknowledged that East Calder's medical practice "continues to face pressures as a consequence of extensive house building in the area, population growth and premises challenges."
Proposals for a new building on the site of the existing centre came out of public consultation last year and funding for a new build will be sought from the Scottish Government.
