3. HEALTH CENTRES
In my report last year I recorded that a sub-committee of the Personal Health
Services Committee was shortly to begin a series of exploratory discussions with
interested persons and organisations in the Borough with a view to providing health
centres. These discussions took place during the year, and members of the Council
met representatives of the British Medical Association, the Local Medical
Committee and the Executive Council. These meetings confirmed that there is a
real interest in health centres amongst practitioners in the Borough, and they were of
great value in eliminating many misconceptions.
It is next planned that there shall be discussions on the feasibility of health
centres in specific sites, with the doctors concerned in these areas. The first two
meetings will concern proposals relating to the East Acton area and the Hanwell
Broadway area.
