HC Deb 20 April 1990 vol 170 c1044W
Mr. Shersby

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what modification he is proposing for screening targets in the new contract for general medical practitioners; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

A modification to the operation of screening targets was announced on 10 April. This change means that entitlement to target payments will be based on partnership lists rather than individual practitioner's lists. No further modifications are planned.
