Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the areas of unmet needs in respect of access to GP surgeries in North Stoke. [26932]

There are 17 general practitioner practices in the locality, and I understand that capacity exists to accept more patients.

In addition, Stoke (Haywood) walk-in centre opened in June 2000 and has proved popular locally, seeing 21,000 patients in the first 12 months.
