HC Deb 02 July 1974 vol 876 c84W
Mr. William Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the number of family practitioners in health centres in 1963, 1968 and 1973.

Dr. Owen

The Department's annual report for 1973 will quote the number of family practitioners in health centres in England at the end of that year as 2,520, but will not quote the corresponding figure for 1963 and 1968. These were 185 and 448, respectively.
