§ Mr. MullinTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what allocation of funds per patient is received(a) by general practitioner fundholders and (b) by non-general practitioner fundholders in Sunderland.
§ Mr. MaloneInformation from Northern and Yorkshire region indicates that general practitioner fundholder budgets in Sunderland for 1994–95 average £140 per patient. District health authorities purchase all hospital and community health services for the patients of non-fundholding general practitioners, as well as those services outside the fundholding scheme for the patients of fundholders. Because of this, the equivalent information is not available for non-fundholders.
