Health ministers have pledged up to £3 million towards the creation of a super GP surgery in Hereford. The government funding will go towards Hereford Medical Group’s planned new primary care hub at Station Approach.

The new medical centre will have 30,677 square feet of floorspace over three floors and will house the Greyfriars, Moorfield House, Aylestone Hill, Sarum House and King Street GP surgeries.

In a letter to Hereford and South Herefordshire MP, Jesse Norman, Health and Social Care Secretary of State, Matt Hancock, said that he was delighted to inform him of the NHS investment in his constituency. He said: “We strongly support our NHS and want to help it to be the best it can be.

Mr Norman congratulated Hereford Medical Group on their success. He said: “This will provide a huical care across Hereford, improve services and take pressure off A&E at the Hospital.”
