+The Mount
*Robin Hood Lane comprehensive Health Centre was opened in September 1969
and in addition to the usual Local Authority clinic facilities, 8 general
practitioners have their surgeries in the Centre. The Child Guidance Clinic
previously at 25 Worcester Road, Sutton, is also incorporated in the Centre.
Although there have been minor teething problems in connection with the
new Centre, the general practitioners, as well as the Local Authority staff,
are delighted with the facilities available. The Close proximity of general
practitioners with Local Authority staffs, particularly health visitors,
district nurses and midwives, has considerably improved the liaison between
these different branches of the Health Service to the benefit of the families
in central Sutton.
øRoundshaw. A temporary clinic created by adaptation of two flats, was
opened at Roundshaw in February 1969. These clinic premises were offered to
the Executive Council for the use of a general practitioner appointed by the
Executive Council for the Roundshaw Estate and the general practitioner
commenced practise on 1st October, 1969.
+The Mount Clinic, on Clockhouse Farm Estate was under-used by the Local
Authority. A general practitioner made application for use of part of the
Clinic for his surgery and commenced practice in July 1969.
