Work commenced on the site in December, 1969, with a target date for opening the centre in February,
1971. It is understood that the River Place Health Centre would then be the first "full-scale" health centre to
be completed in Inner London since the reorganisation of April, 1965. (A centre opened in 1968 was limited
to accommodation for general practitioners only).
The estimate of cost as included in the Council's latest Five Year Capital Programme is £191,520,
made up of £40,000 for site, £141,320 for building, and £10,200 for equipment.
