HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 cc281-2W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether family practitioner committees are intended to monitor complaints which they receive in a similar manner to that specified for district health authorities; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Currie

Family practitioner committees are asked to review regularly the incidence and nature of complaints in their area. The decisions on all formal investigations are taken by the family practitioner committees. Reports of all cases dealt with informally are made to the family practitioner committees.
