Wow a potentially positive move for a change. Depending how it's funded. And how the huge staff shortages (enhanced by new NHS immigration rule). Limit it.
But for 40 year the NHS has had centralisation into big city hospitals. Increasing the cost difficulty and CO2 footprint of mobility limited travelers to get help.
Moving more specialist care into local community centers. Would be a huge positive.
By local community centres do they mean polyclinics?
Likely town halls and or GP offices.
Or leisure centers where local Auth ownership still applies. But not many of those left outside London.
