Sub-paragraph h refers to 'Community facilities' and it would be useful to qualify this with the inclusion of 'healthcare estate' in order that this form of infrastructure is explicitly referenced and considers the potential for on and offsite provision in the same vein as education facilities.

The approach taken in respect of the healthcare estate is to be informed by the ICB's Strategic Estates Plans, which in respect of the primary care network, are scheduled to be updated by June 2023, thereafter capable of informing the masterplanning process for these strategic sites.
