""Too often new developments don't come with the services and infrastructure they need. Our policy would get new or expanded GP surgeries up and running to serve new developments, right from the moment the first homes are sold.""
""The balance of unspent developer contributions provides further evidence of a capacity crisis in local government and should be a major cause of concern for local communities and for ministers.""
The Liberal Democrats propose a law requiring housing developers in England to fund, build, or expand GP surgeries before new residents move in.

Local authorities and NHS boards would identify the need for additional GP provision, funded by taxes on developers. Concerns have been raised about unspent developer contributions and inefficiencies in local government spending.
