ESTATE PLANNING


Smriti Singh


The key healthcare challenges found globally are evident in Plymouth. By 2034, for example, over 20% of the population will be aged over 65.


to strategic estates planning. The LCP no longer evaluates its estate based solely on its condition, utilisation, and cost. Instead, the estate is recognised as a critical enabler for service integration and delivery of care aligned to population needs. As a result, the LCP’s planning is now coordinated, targeted, cost- effective, and avoids siloed and reactive approaches of the past. The LCP is also better positioned to seize future funding opportunities by developing a strong case for change rooted in local needs and


aligned with national policy. Finally, while the LCP’s primary objective was transforming its estate, the collaborative development of key care principles will also support other aspects of health and care system planning. The LCP therefore expects ongoing benefits from this work over the coming years. The PSC can assist health and care


organisations and systems across the UK in developing strategic estate plans using the ‘Blueprint’ approach.
