North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group Response - Ripon Barracks Update September 2020

NYCCG Response

Julian Smith MP has received a response from the North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (NYCCG) with regard to the proposed Ripon Barracks development and the potential impact it may have on local healthcare provisions. The letter states that NYCCG is in discussions with the Harrogate Borough Council Planning Department with regard to securing a financial levy for the Ripon Barracks development which would 'fund necessary improvements and expansion of local healthcare services to support the additional population from this development.'
