Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to establish a walk-in medical centre in Rother Valley.
There are currently no plans to establish a walk-in centre in Rother Valley or the Rotherham area. Rother Valley area has a good general practice coverage and general practitioner (GP) access survey results which compare well with other areas in England.
The Government is committed to improving access to general practice services and everyone will soon be able to access routine GP appointments at evenings and weekends, as part of our plan for a seven-day National Health Service.
