HC Deb 16 March 1972 vol 833 cc174-5W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many health centre projects were proposed in the two years 1970 and 1971 but were not proceeded with because of failure to get the agreement of local general practitioners.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

In two cases general practitioners have withdrawn from health centre negotiations after support for the proposal had been formally indicated to the Secretary of State by Health Service interests. In a number of other cases, which had not reached the stage of firm proposals, exploratory discussions showed that the general practitioners were unlikely to support a health centre development.
