  • Primary Care in OX12 Primary Care in This OX12 Area and for Some
    Primary care in OX12 Primary care in this OX12 area and for some inhabitants of Stanford in the Vale takes place from the Mably Way Health Centre, Mably Way, Wantage between two practices, Church Street and Newbury Street. These practices have now joined to become a Primary Care Network. Newbury Street practice took patients from Grove when its practice closed several years ago. This merger and the increasing population growth in the area have put the two practices under considerable strain especially as the premises are inadequate for the number of patients to be served. Although Church Street has reconfigured to produce another consulting room, “hot desking” has proved the only other option. Some services have had to be moved from the building to make room for more GP consulting space. In 2017 England Health England allowed no extra finance for expansion of the building. The Commissioning Group was contacted by the Church St. Patient group who met with Assura who own the building and since then consultations have taken place to provide adequate expansion of the building. Two years later the talks between the Assura and the OCCG continue but no apparent progress has been made. Continued expansion is taking place with around 5.000 houses imminently being built around Wantage and Grove but many more in the surrounding villages. Concern is being expressed about the increasing average age, we already have above average numbers in the older age groups As more retirement flats are built in the area and a further two care homes, one of which has already been started, are being built Primary Care will be further stretched.

The two most important local councils in Berkshire at the time were Berkshire County Council and Reading Corporation, which were responsible for effecting emergency orders. These principal councils either carried out the orders themselves or delegated them to the other borough or district councils.
