Health centre canned as build costs double in four years

The NHS in Devon has cancelled plans for a new Health and Wellbeing Centre in Teignmouth after construction costs more than doubled since proposals were luanched.
When the NHS consulted on plans to relocate the most well-used services from Teignmouth Community Hospital to a new health and wellbeing centre in the middle of town in autumn 2020, the estimated cost was about £8m. Current cost estimates have risen to about £19m.
