Seaford GP Access Boost: New Surgery Explored

Seaford residents experiencing challenges in accessing primary care are nearing a potential solution with the exploration of a new GP surgery. Lewes District Council has been tasked by NHS Sussex and local GPs to identify and assess potential sites within the town for the new medical facility.

The development of this much-needed practice is contingent upon the successful acquisition of grant funding. NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board is the source for this critical financial support, which will enable partners to thoroughly evaluate the best options available for Seaford.

Officials have expressed a strong commitment to improving primary care access for Seaford's population. They aim to establish a sustainable solution that benefits both patients and healthcare professionals. As the project moves forward, both the council and NHS Sussex plan to actively involve the community in the ongoing discussions and planning phases.
