In our last update in December, we were pleased to share news of our event with local residents and community representatives to further develop the Outline Business Case. We continue to expect this to be complete in Spring 2024. Since that last update, we can report that:
Finally, the ICB would like to put on record its congratulations to the Leighton Buzzard Health Provision Group for their recent national commendation for their work surveying the patients of the Town to support the development of the Outline Business Case.
