George Freeman, MP for Mid Norfolk, is leading a cross-party campaign for a new Neighbourhood Health Centre in south Dereham.

It follows the closure of Toftwood Medical Practice last year, displacing thousands of patients to other surgeries in the town.

Concerns have also been raised about the planned housing growth across Dereham and Breckland as well as growing pressure on access to dentists and community healthcare.
