The Middlesex Executive Committee has four classifications viz:- Designated, Open, Intermediate
and Restricted Areas.
The present classifications of the different wards of the Borough are as follows:—
(1) Open Areas—Burnt Oak, Childs Hill, Garden Suburb, Mill Hill and West Hendon.
Applications from doctors to enter practice in areas classified as Designated or Open will be granted
automatically on the completion of their arrangements.
(2) Intermediate Areas—Central.
In the Intermediate areas the number of patients on the average general practitioner's list is reasonable.
New practices may be established in such areas but the initial practice allowance is not likely to be
paid.

Restricted areas are areas in which the number of doctors is adequate. Normally applications by
doctors to start new practices are not granted.
