Lord TAYLORasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many health centres are now in operation, and how many (i) general medical practitioners, and (ii) dentists providing general dental service, work in these centres.
§ Lord WELLS-PESTELL: At the end of December 1975, 634 health centres were in operation in which about 3,500 general medical practitioners were practising.
