Priory Campus set to change hands

BARNSLEY Healthcare Federation will take ownership of Priory Campus in Lundwood, it has been confirmed.

The council’s ruling cabinet members approved the further exploration of the campus to support the implementation of its health and care plan ambitions.

A council spokesperson said: “Our health and social care services continue to collaborate to ensure that everyone can receive the right care at the right time.

“Priory Campus can offer a great opportunity to build on this creating a more joined-up approach to wellbeing.

“Cabinet has therefore agreed the proposal that the Barnsley Healthcare Federation take on the ownership of Priory Campus, subject to final negotiations and agreements.

“It’s a move all partners are agreed on.

“The library and other tenants using the building will remain, and Barnsley CVS will move to their site at Queens Road.”
