§ 51. Mr. Snowasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is delaying the provision of the health centre at the Dimbles, Lichfield; whether doctors have been invited to practise there; and what the response has been.
§ Dr. John DunwoodyWe have just received details of this project, which is included in Staffordshire County Council's capital building programme for 1970–71. Two doctors, who wish to take a third partner, intend to practise from the health centre subject to their being satisfied about the plans for the building and the conditions of occupancy. I understand that this project was postponed from 1969–70 to 1970–71 by the county council to enable it to give priority to three other health centres.
