A sample copy of the leaflet has been distributed at first-class letter rate to 65 key managers in the national health service and local authorities in inner London. The managers have been asked to state how many further copies they will require in order to make the leaflet available to members of the public in hospitals, clinics, health centres, general practitioner surgeries, local libraries and neighbourhood resource centres. If necessary, a further print run will be undertaken to meet demand.
In addition I have written to London Members of Parliament with a copy of the leaflet. The London primary health care forum has not previously published or circulated any other literature.
Copies of "Changing the Focus of Healthcare in London" will be placed in the Library.
