Primary and social care premises: planning and design guidance
-
Last modified date:25 June 2007
This website identifies the key considerations and actions for those involved in the planning, briefing and design of primary and social care premises, and gives some guidelines on funding, procurement and design.
It replaces HBN 36 - 'Local healthcare facilities' and the 'SFA' ('Red Book'). Guidance is included on understanding the national policy framework - both for health and for the built environment - preparing an SSDP and a procurement plan, together with establishing a project brief and establishing a detailed design brief.
