HC Deb 09 July 1990 vol 176 cc57-8W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many general practitioners will be equipped with the necessary software to enable them to be responsible for their own budgets from 1 April 1991.

Mr. Grist

Discussions are continuing with the computer companies. The details of these discussions are commercially sensitive, but the general objective is to ensure that the necessary software will be available to all those GPs who wish to take part in the scheme.
