The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to increase the number of walk-in centres.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Integrated commissioning boards, in their commissioning of unscheduled and urgent care services, are responsible for determining where services will be most effective, and this may be co-located with the local emergency department or be a standalone service either on or off a hospital site.
