Plans to breathe new life into the site of a former care home in Burntwood have been backed by Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet.
The proposal, which still needs final funding agreements with the NHS as well as planning permission, would see Greenwood House used by the Darwin Practice as a health centre.
The council would also look for a tenant for an adjoining pharmacy.
Cllr Alan White, Staffordshire County Council’s deputy leader and Cabinet member for health, care and wellbeing, said: “This proposal, utilising a previously dormant plot of land to provide additional capacity for the local GP practice, means people in Burntwood can look forward to a new, state-of-the-art accessible practice that meets the needs of local people.”
