Mary Opens New Wakefield Health Centre

Wakefield MP Mary Creagh officially opened the city centre's brand new GP-led health centre this week.  She unveiled the plaque to the new facility on King Street, just behind the Town Hall on Friday 10th July.  

The King Street centre is already seeing over 100 patients a day and people can just drop in for treatment.  The Government is committed to making sure GPs stay open for longer and at times that suit patients.  You do not have to register to use the service and it is open from 8am-8pm, 7 days a week.   

Mary Creagh, MP for Wakefield said: “The Labour Government is committed to making sure GPs stay open for longer and at times that suit patients.  Wakefield now has a permanent home for its out of hours service, as well as a lovely new GP surgery in the city centre thanks to government investment in the NHS.  My thanks go to the great team at Local Care Direct who are helping to deliver these services to Wakefield.  I know from personal experience that people really rely on them.”
