§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) how many general practitioners and general practitioner practices in Wales have requested information from his Department about practice budgets;
(2) how many general practitioners and general practitioner practices in each family practitioner committee area in Wales have requested information from his Department about practice budgets.
§ Mr. GristThe booklet "Funding General Practice— The Programme for the Introduction of General practice Budgets" was mailed directly to all Welsh general practitioners in early January 1990. Effectively, therefore, all Welsh GPs have received basic information regarding the scheme. Comprehensive records of requests for supplementary information are not available.
