§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Minister of Health how many health centres have been established in Wales since 1964; and whether he will seek to require the establishment of such centres in newly developed housing estates of 500 families or more.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonTwo health centres have been established in Wales since 1964; one in Risca and the other in Cardiff. The published plans of local health authorities envisage a further 28 by 1975–76.
8WThe circumstances justifying the provision of a health centre are a need in a locality for the facilities it would provide, and agreement between the doctors and others concerned that the need can best be met in this way. The criterion my hon. Friend suggests would not therefore be satisfactory.
