§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS walk-in centres there are(a) in England and Wales and (b) in the Buckinghamshire health authority area; and what plans he has for further centres. [32191]
§ Ms BlearsNational health service walk-in centres are being piloted as a new initiative to offer convenient access to primary care services. As pilots, they are being independently evaluated. 42 centres are now open. All of these are in England and none is in the area of Buckinghamshire health authority.
Our decisions on the future development of NHS walk-in centres will be informed by the independent evaluation report.
