2.8 COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
This Context section is the ONLY place where provision of medical facilities for this very large development is mentioned. The implication of the text is that existing facilities in surrounding villages, with some upgrading of the Monkfield practice, will suffice. Given the growing shortage of medical staff to supply existing practices in the coming years, the ongoing financial problems with Addenbrookes, the slow responses of the county ambulance services it seems naive to think that a new community of the proposed size could be adequately served by tweaks to one of the local practices. The development needs its own Practice.
