The CDCs will help achieve the following ambitions:

- To improve productivity and efficiency by streamlining the way we provide acute and elective (planned) diagnostic services where it makes sense to do so; redesigning clinical pathways to reduce unnecessary steps, tests or duplication
- To contribute to reducing health inequalities by ensuring everyone has the same access to care and the same health outcomes
- To deliver a better diagnostic service and more personalised experience by providing a single point of access to a range of services in the community
- To support more joined-up care across primary, community and secondary care
