Health written question – answered at on 28 March 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what target is in place for development of local improvement finance trust schemes.
holding answer
NHS LIFT was announced in the NHS Plan which also identified LIFT, along side other existing primary care procurement routes, as a mechanism to support the delivery of the following:
Up to £1 billion investment in primary care facilities;
Up to 3,000 family doctors' premises substantially refurbished or replaced by 2004; and
500 one stop primary care centres delivered by 2004, which has further been extended by delivering the NHS Plan to 750 by 2008.
There are no further national targets on LIFT because, in line with Shifting the Balance of Power", NHS LIFT is a mechanism to be used by primary care trusts locally to support the delivery of their service modernisation programme as detailed in their individual strategic service development plan.
