A NEW medical centre which will enable patients to get a better level of health service is one step closer to completion.
The roof went on the £1.8 million Sedbergh Health Centre last week and it is expected that internal renovation will be completed for doors to open to patients in April.
The new centre will include services to benefit staff and patients; treatment rooms, a dispensary, dedicated space to provide medical services for Sedbergh School and a training and research suite.
Once complete, the existing Sedbergh Medical Practice based on Loftus Hill and its staff will move to the new location on the town’s former auction mart site.
Dr William Lumb, from the Sedbergh Medical Practice, said: “I'm pleased that we have reached this stage in the build process within the timescale expected and now myself and my partners are really beginning to see the new health centre take shape.
"The new health centre will provide more room for both staff and patients in modern purpose built accommodation."
