Get the data: Commuter walk-in centre closures
Four of six commuter walk-in centres created in a £50m Labour government scheme to give busy workers better access to healthcare have closed, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism can reveal.
The walk-in clinics were created as a part of the Independent Sector Treatment Centre (ISTC) scheme, which outsourced procedures to private providers to reduce NHS waiting times.
