HC Deb 22 December 1976 vol 923 c242W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the need to set up a medical centre in the West End of London to treat homeless young people.

Mr. Ennals

There is an urgent need for an experiment in providing primary health care for homeless young people in the West End whose needs are not being met through normal services. Some funds have been provided from charitable sources, and my Department will make some available for a limited period, as soon as agreement is reached between those concerned in the arrangements for the management of the project, for an experimental primary care walk-in centre.
