    HEALTH CENTRES During 1967 arrangements were completed for the building of the first two Health Centres in Somerset - one at Frome and the other at Glastonbury. It is expected that the first will be completed and ready for furnishing in March, 1969 and the other about May, 1969 . The Centre at Frome will accommodate seven general medical practitioners (all working in one practice), together with facilities for a range of local health authority functions, including a dental unit. The Glastonbury Centre will accommodate four doctors, a dental unit and other local health authority functions. Plans are well ahead for further health centres, namely at Cheddar and Street by the adaptation of existing premises, and at Clevedon and Nailsea by the building of new premises; initial arrangements are also in hand for other centres at Wincanton, Wellington and Yeovil.
