High Road,
Woodford,
Health Centre
This Health Centre will provide consulting suites for 6 general
practitioners in the area. A Local Authority child health session at
present held in a church hall will be transferred to the new building and
also certain sessions from the Wanstead Place Clinic.
The Department of Health and Social Security have agreed to the
scheme in principle and subject to a few minor amendments in the plans
loan sanction should be forthcoming to enable the work to commence on
site in 1970 for completion in 1972.
Full we 11
Cross
(Alcoe's
Timber Yard)
This site is ideally suitable as it is on a main road junction with
public transport facilities. Loan sanction has been obtained (24.12.68)
for the purchase of the site for Health Centre purposes.
3 general practitioners have expressed their willingness to enter,
whilst two others are interested.
Local Health Authority and Local Executive Council consider this
project a viable proposition.
It has been included in our 3-year capital programme for building to
commence in 1970 and for completion in 1972. A brief will be prepared
early in 1969 following which a scheme submission will be forwarded to
the Department of Health and Social Security, who have already agreed
to the purchase of the site.
This Centre will serve a population in excess of 20,000 and will
replace Local Health Authority sessions at present held in Fullwell
Cross Library.
Seven Kings
Health Centre
The site of this Health centre is on the railway land opposite Seven
Kings Station in Salisbury Road.
This is an alternative site chosen when land suitable for a Health
Centre was not available at Goodmayes (railway goods yard).
4 doctors have expressed a desire to practise from a Centre in this
area, but in the case of this particular site (the only one available) they
have made their entry into the scheme conditional upon the provision o
suitable access from the north of the Seven Kings High Road by means
of an underpass or bridge, which matter now has been referred to the
Borough Engineer. This project is also included in the capital programme
for 1970/71. if the building proceeds it will replace the Local Healt
Authority Child Health session at present held at the Seven Kings
Methodist Church Hall.
