GP-led Health Centres

Volume 482: debated on Tuesday 4 November 2008

12. To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he plans to introduce GP-led health centres across England; and if he will make a statement. (232542)

Yes. Every local national health service (NHS) in England is in the process of procuring a new general practitioner (GP)-led health centre open 8 am to 8 pm, 365 days a year.

People will be able to use the new services and remain registered with their own GP. This will increase choice and convenience for the public who tell us easier access to GP services is a top priority for further improvements to the NHS.
