These care centres, based in Grimethorpe and Cudworth, will offer a range of medical services as part of a new wave of super surgeries opening up for NHS patients across the country under the NHS Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) public, private partnerships.

This is the fourth NHS LIFT construction partnering for Bluestone, which has already built similar super-surgeries in Doncaster and Barnsley. The company will act as the design and framework partner to Barnsley Community Solutions in the construction of the two new centres.

Steve Lake, general manager for Barnsley Community Solutions, commented: “Following Bluestone’s success with similar LIFT projects in Barnsley and Doncaster, Bluestone is ideally placed to use its extensive experience to deliver high quality health and social care buildings to Barnsley Community Solutions.”
