17 GP practices in North Yorkshire are set to receive funding to help modernise their buildings and improve patient facilities.
The funding, announced during the government’s 2024 Spending Review, totals £102 million and will be shared across England. The aim is to improve the use of space and infrastructure at GP practices, so more patients can be seen in better surroundings.
While the money's not new, this week the government published the full list of the GP practices that will benefit.
The following 17 GP practices in North Yorkshire are set to benefit from the improvement funding:
Beech House Surgery – Knaresborough
Castle Health Centre – Scarborough
Church Avenue Medical Group – Harrogate
Derwent Practice – Malton
Dr Akester & Partners – Kirkby Malzeard, Ripon
Eastgate Medical Centre – Knaresborough
The Friary Surgery – Richmond
Great Ayton Health Centre – Great Ayton
Hunmanby Surgery – Hunmanby
Mayford House Surgery – Northallerton
Mowbray Group Practice – Northallerton and Hutton Rudby
Park Parade Surgery – Harrogate
Pickering Medical Practice – Pickering
Stillington Surgery – Stillington
Stockwell Road Surgery – Knaresborough
Thirsk Doctors Surgery – Thirsk
Dyneley House Surgery – Skipton
Bridlington Medical Centre in East Yorkshire is also included in the government's list.
Ashley Green, Chief Executive Officer, Healthwatch North Yorkshire said:
“We welcome this investment in GP practices across North Yorkshire. People often tell us about the importance of accessible, well-equipped services close to home. We hope this funding leads to improvements that make a real difference to patients and practice staff alike.”
The funding is being distributed by NHS Integrated Care Boards, the organisations responsible for planning and funding health services in local areas.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
