Clair Hall vaccination centre licence extended

Clair Hall vaccination centreWe've extended a licence for the NHS to use the Clair Hall site in Haywards heath as a Covid-19 vaccination centre.

The NHS has been vaccinating local residents against Covid-19 at the Clair Hall site since December 2020 and has delivered over 190,000 jabs so far. The licence extension will enable the NHS to continue delivering this and other important health services on site. The new licence will run until February 2024.

GP Federation, Alliance for Better Care, has been running the vaccination programme at Clair Hall on behalf of local GP practices. The team aims to make full use of the space available and is now working with practices to provide extended primary care services from the site, alongside its ongoing vaccination provision.

The use of Clair Hall as a vaccination centre is a temporary measure and we are working with industry experts BOP Consulting to explore all the options for providing new sustainable community facilities on the site for the benefit of local residents. We have agreed an evidence-based approach to look at how modern, multifunctional community facilities could be delivered on the Clair Hall site and this work is unaffected by the extension of the licence.
