New unplanned (Darzi) Health Centre in Oxfordshire
The Primary Care Trust has been instructed by Government to provide a new surgery in Oxfordshire. This was not in any of the PCTs plans for future development. As a consequence it is going to consume the time of the PCT and resources from our budgets. We do not support this unplanned expenditure.

We are working with the PCT to build new premises for Jericho Health Centre to be housed on the Old Radcliffe Hospital site. Other City Practices that were scheduled to be involved in this programme and could not be fitted into the scheme may have the opportunity to take part in a second City Centre scheme which could also house other services to provide care outside hospital. The Darzi centre conflicts with these plans.

The Consortium plans an away day on Thursday 13th March 1-4pm to look at service redesign of the DVT pathway (Blood clots in the legs).
