Health centre plan goes on show

The proposed new facility would be on Saville Street in Dalton and would replace the current Dalton Health Centre which was constructed over 40 years ago and is no longer fit for purpose.

Patients at Dr Ahmed and Dr Iqbal's practices would all be moved to the proposed new facility, which it is hoped would be open in autumn 2014.

The consultation event takes place next Thursday between 2.30pm and 6pm at Silverwood Miners Welfare and Resource Centre at Dalton. Patients and residents are invited to drop in to the event where they will have the opportunity to see the proposals and ask any questions.
