A new cutting-edge healthcare facility in Catterick, jointly built by the Ministry of Defence and the NHS, will treat thousands of patients a year including the military, their families and the local civilian population in North Yorkshire and the wider area when it opens next year, News Cover reports, citing UK government.
The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC) which has received approximately £110 million of funding, is a first-of-its-kind health partnership, directly employing more than 300 highly skilled medical personnel from the MOD and the NHS to treat up to 1,000 people a day.
Situated within Catterick Garrison, home to over 14,000 military personnel, the centre will offer a range of services, including primary care, rehabilitation, mental health support, and specialist treatments. It will see military personnel, their families and the wider local population all treated at the same location.
The project aims to improve local access to healthcare, providing a variety of healthcare services in one location, and will also provide opportunities for training.
