title: Healthy-living centres. Nipped in the bid.
abstract: Applicants for healthy living centre funding can find the process very time-consuming. Fewer than 100 bids have been approved so far, from more than 1,000 applications. There are concerns about whether the projects will be taken on by primary care trusts once the lottery funding runs out.
