NHS LIFT is an initiative in UK’s National Health Service (“NHS”) to deliver modern integrated primary health care facilities, particularly in deprived urban areas. Under the scheme, public-private partnership companies will be formed to develop and rent the facilities to local NHS agencies and general practitioner doctors.
The project aims to improve healthcare services where health need is greatest and where there is a disproportionately high number of sub-standard general practitioner premises.
Barclays Bank plc will provide information to allow EIB to review the environmental implications of the projects including planning requirements and the eventual impact of the projects on the local environment.
The projects that are to be financed by EIB will be procured in accordance with EU Directives where these apply.
