“The project represents a great investment in the people and the place, Catterick Garrison and North Yorkshire,” he said.
“The benefits of having all the teams co-located means that you have a collation of expertise, knowledge and experience which are able to work together to optimise patient care.”
The centre will offer a range of services, including primary care, rehabilitation, dentistry, mental health support and specialist treatment.
It will cater for military personnel at Catterick Garrison and other bases, including RAF stations.
It will also facilitate out-of-hours and GP appointments for NHS patients, primarily those currently registered at the Harewood Medical Practice in Richmondshire, although other GP practices will be able to refer patients to the centre.
