§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he has any plans to replace the current dual system for general practitioners and clinic services as the funding system for family planning services, with a single method source of payment.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyAn important feature of the reformed NHS in England is the bringing together of district health authorities and family health services authorities as partners in health care provision accountable to regional health authorities. RHAs will be able to ensure that DHAs and FHSAs work together to make most effective use of available resources and to develop a more integrated and balanced family planning service responsive to local needs, taking account of the need for consumer choice.
