§ Mr. HammondTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what sums have been appropriated from the Primary Care Modernisation Fund to support acute NHS trusts in London. [91724]
235W
§ Mr. DenhamIn 1999–2000, London health authorities received modernisation funds of £13.1 million for improving primary care as part of their unified allocations. It is for health authorities, in partnership with National Health Service trusts, primary care groups, local authorities and local stakeholders to determine how best to use their funds to meet national and local priorities for improving health and modernisation services. In doing so they must however deliver at least the guaranteed floor level of expenditure on general practitioner practice infrastructure costs.
