Wixams must wait 10 more years for GP surgery, residents told

The £5.5m that has been promised would come in the form of S106 money, which is funding typically provided by housing developers as a contribution to the local community.

A spokesperson for the NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board said: “We understand the concerns from residents that Wixams does not have a GP surgery and that they currently have to travel to neighbouring areas to access primary care services.

“We are working hard to improve access to existing primary care provision, through greater use of the Pharmacy First scheme, new professional roles in primary care, and better telephone services.”

It also said the capital funding for the surgery was “not available to us” without the S106 money.

Central Bedfordshire Council said it was working closely with the NHS and Bedford Borough Council.
