- Clapham Junction Health Centre Research
The report on the research carried out in July on behalf of NHS Wandsworth and the Wandsworth LINk has now been received. Findings include the fact that a significant number of additional users would use the health centre at Clapham Junction if it included a wider range of diagnostic facilities such as X-ray. A more detailed note of the findings is attached.
It was also clear that many local residents did not know about the services available at the centre but that the 8 am to 8 pm opening times were seen as good.
Wandsworth LINk now calls on NHS Wandsworth to find a way to make X-ray facilities available on a single site alongside the health centre at Clapham Junction.
