Construction begins on new £7m GP hub
Bentley Primary Care Centre combines two previous GP surgeries
- Published
Construction has started on a £7m primary care hub in Doncaster.
The Bentley Primary Care Centre on Chapel Street will bring together two existing GP practices; Don Valley Healthcare and The Ransome Practice.
Anthony Fitzgerald, NHS South Yorkshire's executive place director for Doncaster, said the development was "brilliant news" for the area and surrounding communities.
"A new state of the art primary care centre will ensure our communities are serviced by the best possible efficient healthcare which meets their needs," he added.
The former Bentley Community Library has been demolished to make way on the site for the new care centre.
Funding for the building has been provided by NHS England, with the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board due to fund it after construction is completed in spring 2026.
The three-storey, 13,000 sq ft (1,215 sq m) centre will also include solar panels, electric vehicle charging points and integrated bird and bat boxes.
