Plans have been approved for a £27m health and wellbeing centre based in east Newport. The building will be based in Ringland and will house two existing GP practices, Ringland Medical Practice and Park Surgery, alongside Ringland Dental Surgery.
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board said the centre will bring a range of services for patients together in one place, including general medical services, community pharmacy and community dentistry, community services, social care and charities. In addition to medical services, the community hub at the site aims to bring people together to support wellbeing, reduce loneliness and promote independent living.
The plans were approved by the Welsh Government on Monday, paving the way for the centre to be built. Glyn Jones, interim chief executive of Aneurin Bevan University Heath Board, said: "We are delighted that the Welsh Government has approved this new health and wellbeing centre, which is a perfect example of our ambitions for the transformation of health care delivery across the health board area.
