Recommendation
Ahead of the arrival of the new funding from the Spending Review in Spring 2022, we recommend that Government provides more details on the 100 new community diagnostic hubs, including where they will be placed, who will staff them and how they will contribute to service improvement within and beyond the covid-19 landscape.

NHS England and NHS Improvement are working with systems to develop community diagnostic centres, with over 90 sites now open across the country. These centres are designed to provide a range of services based on local need, including MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and blood tests. This will support earlier diagnosis and treatment of a range of conditions. By offering services in the heart of communities, they will be more convenient for patients and easier to access.
