The Leader of Haringey Council, Councillor Peray Ahmet, paid a visit to a brand new, multi-purpose health centre on Monday (5 August 2024) to see firsthand how the state-of-the facility will benefit 25,000 Haringey residents.

Delivered by Haringey Council and the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (ICB), Welbourne Health Centre will provide primary care services and safeguard quality healthcare for people of all ages in Tottenham Hale. Cllr Ahmet was joined on the visit by the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, Cllr Sarah Williams, Cllr Lucia das Neves, the Cabinet Member for Health, Social Care and Wellbeing and Cllr Dana Carlin, the Cabinet Member for Finance and Corporate Services.

They met with the practice manager, Sila Makoon, and other members of staff at the Welbourne Health Centre as part of their trip. The Lawrence House Group – a GP practice with four surgeries currently in Haringey – has relocated its medical centres in Dowsett Road and Hale Village to Welbourne Health Centre.

The new medical facility neighbours the site where the council is building 131 council homes that will transform the lives of local people in the area.
