Welcome to the two Nottinghamshire LIFT Companies' web site

Significantly improving the local primary care infrastructure which had seen very low levels of investment for a number of years was the UK Government’s commitment behind the NHS Plan issued in 2000. The NHS Plan emphasises the need for closer working relationships between the NHS and local government making 'joined-up' services a reality. This paves the way for the development of the 'one-stop centre' concept, with services from a number of providers accessible under one roof.

In Nottingham approximately 50% of the city's population live in wards that according to the Annual Report of the Director of Public Health for Nottingham were in 2005 amongst the most needy in England. Greater Nottinghamshire LIFT Company was set up in 2004 and North Nottinghamshire LIFT Company in 2005 to improve the primary care estate and access to health and social services for all residents in the region.

The long term private sector partner for the two Nottinghamshire LIFTCOs is Primary Plus Ltd. As well as Nottinghamshire LIFTCOs they are the private sector partner in four other LIFT companies with a total property portfolio of £280 million.
