The highly anticipated opening of the £41m Worthing Integrated Health Centre in Sussex has been put on hold after a shocking discovery of legionella bacterium in the heating system. The state-of-the-art facility, built on a former car park site in Stoke Abbott Road, was initially set to open its doors in January. However, the presence of this potentially hazardous bacteria has prompted a delay, ensuring the health and safety of patients and staff. With a focus on providing top-notch healthcare services, including primary care and community health, the centre's opening will be rescheduled once the issue is resolved, prioritizing water safety and legionella prevention.
