NHS keen to hear views on health centre proposal in the Teignmouth Post (April 20).

This isn’t something new, I remember a very long time ago when a lot younger we used to go to a communal centre, which are now called health centres and saw the doctor who you were registered with.

There’s lots of doctors there seeing lots of people and after a consultation you were given a medical note (now called a prescription) which you took to the pharmacy in an adjacent room in the same building.

You were then given a ticket with a number and waited your turn which could be 30 minutes or even longer sometimes for your medication.

As they say, ‘history repeats itself’.
