<p>NHS Property Services is taking a leading role as the requirements for health facilities
in York are established. Until the future is decided and to ensure that services can
continue to be provided from the site, the Company is investing £1.3 million in Bootham
Park and Cherry Tree House in order to improve the experience of patients.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Work has also recently been completed on a full refurbishment
of Mill Lodge, which enabled child and adolescent mental health services to relocate
there from Lime Trees in December 2014. As a result of the completed works, Mill Lodge
now has sufficient capacity to provide local care for a number of young people closer
to their homes than was previously possible.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In order
to ensure the National Health Service makes the best use of its mental health estate
in York for the long-term benefit of local people, the Company is working with the
Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group, Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation
Trust and York City Council to develop a coherent, joined-up estates plan.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We look forward to updating the House on the progress being
made later in the year.</p><p> </p>
