Morgan Sindall PLC starts work on £8M health centre in Market Harborough

Construction and infrastructure company Morgan Sindall recently began work on new health facilities in Market Harborough, Leicester.

The £8M health facility by NHS Property Services via the East Midlands Property Alliance (EMPA) framework will be modern and technically advanced, with a range of high quality health services.

The health centre is set in a landscaped 1.78 hectares site located in a prominent position for the  Harborough community.

A mixture of outpatient services include primary care and general practice, outpatient services and diagnostics, mental health services, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, along with some non-clinical, administrative services on site.

Alan Coole, Head of EMPA said: “Improving facilities for local communities is at the heart of what we do at empa. This NHS construction project is one we are delighted to see start on site; not only will this scheme save the taxpayer money but it will have a real and lasting impact to the people of Leicestershire too.”

Elliot Howard-Jones, Director of Commissioning Operations for NHS England (Central Midlands), said: “Today sees a further significant step in providing the people of Market Harborough and the surrounding communities with modern healthcare services. We all appreciate the long history that lies behind today, and I am delighted to be here to see what is one of our biggest investments in planned care in the locality finally become reality.”

The site will place St Luke’s in an ideal position to serve Market Harborough and the surrounding area.
