One of the sites is set to open in Armley Moor health centre.
Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: “The NHS is facing an unprecedented challenge to tackle Covid backlogs. “Hardworking staff have made strong progress but I want to turbocharge our current plans to bust the backlog and help patients get the treatment they need.“The taskforce will look at sensible steps to utilise all existing capacity to slash waiting lists while ensuring the NHS always remains free at the point of use.”and Beeston Village Health Centre, while the location of the Leeds city centre clinic is yet to be confirmed.
“By maximising opportunities to deliver even more life-saving checks and tests, building on the successes of increasing use of the independent sector since the pandemic, we can speed up diagnoses and continue to bring down waiting lists for routine care.
"For decades independent sector capacity has been used by the NHS to improve patients’ access to care free at the point of use.”
