Health Centres (Hansard, 6 December 1967)

§ 47. Mrs. Cullen
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the co-operation he has received from general practitioners in Scotland in his endeavours to increase the number of health centres.

§ Mr. Millan
A health centre is essentially a co-operative effort, and the large number of proposals now under consideration shows that many general practitioners now wish to practise in health centres.

§ 58. Mr. Steele
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in which areas health centres are now established; and whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of those areas for which additional health centres have been requested.

§ Mr. Millan
Health centres have been established in Edinburgh, Stranraer, Cumbernauld, Huntly and Langholm.
Following is the information referred to:
