HEALTH Minister Hazel Blears was due to visit St Helens to formally open a new service designed to reduce pressure on overstretched GPs and hospitals.
The £1.4m NHS walk-in centre provides easy-access health care for people with minor ailments in the St Helens and Knowsley area.
The centre on Bickerstaffe Street already deals with 90 patients per day.
