The push to build new housing must take into account the health services available in the catchment area. The existing services especially like Medway Maritime hospital cant cope with the current population, so simple ratio of beds/residents in a given region or ward must be increased. I suggest to enable local clinics of which I have been to 3 (Rainham, Gillingham, & Rochester) need to provide extra or expanded services to reduce demand on hospitals. For example, I should be able to get an x-ray at my local clinic & not need to visit a hospital.
