Mr. Newens
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the present plans for providing a health centre in Old Harlow.
Dr. Owen
Tenders for the building are now being examined by the Essex Area Health Authority.
Mr. Newens
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will resist all proposals to reorganise the system of health centres in Harlow on any basis which separates general practitioners from district nurses, midwives and health visitors etc.
Dr. Owen
I know of no such proposals in Harlow. However, as indicated in my reply today to my hon. Friend's other Question, any such proposals would be contrary to my policy for encouraging the development of primary health care teams.
