HC Deb 23 September 1948 vol 456 c147W
86. Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Minister of Health how many Health Centres have been set up under the National Health Service Act; and whether he has any plans for the establishing of further centres in populous areas.

Mr. Bevan

Twenty-six dispensaries from which general medical and dental services were provided before 5th July are continuing as Health Centres under the Act. I have approved a proposal to build a centre on a developing housing estate in London; and the provision of centres in other populous areas is under consideration.
