Migrants housed in army base will have own on-site GP

Migrants being housed at a military training camp in East Sussex will have their own on-site GP as part of efforts to minimise their impact on local services.

Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, announced that the first 27 migrants were moved to the former barracks at Crowborough late on Wednesday night. The site will eventually accommodate 540 male asylum seekers who arrived in the UK on small boats.
