People of London: ‘NHS Services on the High Street would be really exciting’

With UK high streets in decline, would Londoners like to see more NHS services installed.

00:00So I think on the High Street it's really reflective of, I guess, a change in how people

00:05spend their money and how they spend their time. It's sad to see places shut down and

00:09empty spaces, especially when there are community needs there. I work in an NHS community mental

00:15health team and so the idea of having spaces in the community is really exciting and that's

00:20something that I'd love and something that I tried looking into before and it's felt

00:23difficult and actually to be able to see patients in the community on the High Street is way

00:28more accessible and more exciting as a worker to feel part of the community. So to have

00:34that opportunity would be great.

00:36Yes, I think it's a pity that there's like rotten teeth in the High Street. I think they

00:43should be used too for housing, bring people into the centre and have facilities here.

00:49I mean there's lots of coffee shops and that's fine because people want coffee and they congregate

00:54and to have a doctor's surgery, yeah, would be good, except I'm registered elsewhere.
