HC Deb 28 June 1971 vol 820 cc32-3W
102. Dr. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will ensure the preservation of the existing negotiating machinery for contracts of service for general practitioners in preparing his plans for reorganisation of the National Health Service.

Sir K. Joseph

My proposals do not involve any change in the present arrangements.

103. Dr. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when consultations take place with executive councils on the consultative document on reorganisation of the National Health Service, if he will ensure that such consultations include representatives from local elected professional committees such as local medical committees, before publication of a White Paper.

Sir K. Joseph

I have consulted the Executive Councils Association, which includes representatives of the professions providing family practitioner services, and have also consulted the professions' own organisations.
