Neighbourhood Health model
Ealing Council is advancing its Neighbourhood Health model through new facilities and a significant funding plan for 2026/27.
Ealing Council approved a £60 million Better Care Fund plan for the 2026/27 financial year in September 2026, with a significant focus on shifting services towards a neighbourhood health model. This plan, approved by the national team, outlines investment in preventative services and neighbourhood health initiatives. Separately, Ealing is developing a new children's therapy centre and enhanced mental health hubs, with refurbishment and opening planned for the 2026/27 period.
These developments are part of the Ealing Borough Based Partnership's commitment to developing neighbourhood health services, a framework for organising and delivering health services within local communities. The Better Care Fund aims to improve integrated and preventative health and social care services across the borough, supporting the voluntary sector and reducing reliance on residential care.
