HC Deb 27 October 1987 vol 121 cc242-3W
32. Ms. Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to encourage and support the establishment of a well woman centre in every health district.

Mrs. Currie

The establishment of well women centres to provide services such as cervical screening is an option open to all health authorities and one which a number have taken up. We welcome the additional flexibility that this model of service delivery offers but recognise that it is for individual health authorities to decide on the most appropriate method of providing services locally.
