§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give financial support, from urban aid or other funds, to enable a medical general practitioner or dentist to establish a practice in an urban deprived area.
§ Sir George YoungThe National Health Service provides full financial support to general practitioners and dentists for the costs of establishing and maintaining practices.
In England, a small proportion of urban programme resources is made available to health authorities in partnership and programme areas. The health authorities have used some of these resources to build or improve health centres which may accommodate both existing and new general and dental practices.
