HC Deb 02 May 1980 vol 983 c717W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he will publish new guidelines on health centres to regional and other health authorities; and if he will consider allowing family medical practitioners to work from such health authority-built centres, even though the locality may not be inner city or otherwise acutely difficult areas.

Dr. Vaughan

The new policy guidance will be issued in the next four to six weeks. Although this will introduce fresh criteria for considering health centre schemes, it will not limit future building to particular types of area.
