I AM all in favour of turning the clock back regarding health centres.

These new health centres may be run on the same lines of the clinics that we used to have in each district about 60 years ago. They used to cater for a variety of things healthwise and dentalwise. Why not build a few cottage hospitals as well?

Who knows where all this will end?

Someone will be telling me next that the grammar school is returning and local secondary modern schools are being rebuilt. Bring it on. At least there was discipline in these schools, as well as learning.

Then someone could re-introduce bobbies on the beat and local police stations, or is that just a step too far? After all, we have to think about human rights and the like.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
