HC Deb 17 March 1993 vol 221 c303W
Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what requirement there is for general practitioner fund holders to open their annual accounts to the public.

Dr. Mawhinney

General practitioner fund holder audited annual accounts are public documents.

Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to her answer of 1 March,Official Report, column 32, if she will now ensure that information is held centrally of general practitioner fund holders in each region which have exhausted their budgets.

Dr. Mawhinney

Regional health authorities have responsibility for managing the scheme and monitoring all fund holder budgets regularly. I have no plans to duplicate this responsibility centrally.
