Health Clinics, Glasgow

HC Deb 23 July 1957 vol 574 c212

50. Mrs. Cullen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when a start is likely to be made in the building of the first health clinic in Glasgow.

Mr. J. N. Browne

The first post-war comprehensive health clinic in Glasgow was completed in 1955 at Pollok. I understand that Glasgow Corporation propose shortly to invite tenders for a similar clinic at Drumchapel.

Mrs. Cullen

Is the Joint Under-Secretary of State aware that it is over twelve months since his Department asked which of these clinics was required first and was told Drumchapel? Is he aware that nothing further has been done since?

Mr. Browne

I can assure the hon. Lady that Glasgow Corporation is moving ahead in this matter as fast as it possibly can.
