Westminster Labour welcomes new Halfpenny Steps Health Centre

Labour Councillors have welcomed the opening of the new Halfpenny Steps Health Centre on the Harrow Road which has opened today and will serve residents in Queen’s Park and Harrow Road wards. The Halfpenny Steps Health Centre provides health services for registered and walk-in patients. It is staffed with a team of GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals to deliver a high quality, continuous service.

Opening hours are from 8am to 8pm, 7 days week. The surgery is open for new patient registrations now.

Halfpenny Steps Health Centre,
427-429 Harrow Road,
London, W10 4RE.

Queen’s Park Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, Leader of the Labour Group, said: “This is a fantastic new local health facility which will provide and even better local service to residents seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. The PCT is to be congratulated on extending local health services in Queen’s Park and Harrow Road wards as this is an area where there is a large child population and where life expectancy is lower than in more affluent parts of Westminster.”

“This new health centre is a direct result of Labour’s huge investment in improving health facilities in Westminster. This new health centre would not have existed had the Conservatives been running the Government a few years ago and similar new health centres are much less likely now that the new Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Coalition is cutting public services. When people ask where public money has been invested you only have travel up and down the Harrow Road and see this new Health Centre, together with the new Health facilities at The Stowe and the new Westminster Academy, to see Labour’s real and lasting achievements.”
