HC Deb 13 July 1982 vol 27 c370W
39. Dr. M. S. Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will offer incentives to general practitioners to improve their practice premises.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

General practitioners may already apply for grants of one-third of the cost of improvements to their practice premises. Practitioners providing purpose-built premises or their equivalent may also benefit from the cost rent scheme. I am glad to say that increasing numbers are taking advantage of these arrangements.
