§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health what is his estimate of the number of health centres, and their cost, required to fulfil the functions assigned to them by Section 21 of the National Health Service Act, 1946; and what is the earliest date at which he expects their provision, in view of the fact that the absence of them places a burden upon those doctors who have joined the service under the expectation of health centres being supplied.
§ Mr. BevanIt is impracticable to make estimates. Work on the first new health centre will, I hope, start this spring.
