Mr. McMahon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement concerning health centres in Scotland; how many centres are in operation; how many operate a dental service; how many operate a chiropody service; how many contain a pharmacy unit; and how many centres contain a multi-purpose service and where they are located.

Health boards are authorised to provide health centres to meet local requirements within the resources available to them. There were 134 health centres in operation at 31 December 1980. The other information requested is not held centrally.
