HC Deb 22 January 1991 vol 184 c160W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many of the practices covered by the Doncaster family health service authority have met the targets introduced in the general practitioners' new contract for(a) cervical cytology, (b) childhood immunisation and (c) boosters; how many minor surgery services they are anticipated to complete in the current year; how many children under five years have registered for child health surveillance with them; how many health promotion sessions they will have; and how many patients they are likely to see in them by the end of March.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The information is not available in the precise form requested. As at 30 September 1990, the proportion of GPs covered by Doncaster family health services authority —FHSA—who qualified for either a higher or lower target payment is as follows:(a) cervical cytology 100 per cent., (b) childhood immunisations 83 per cent. and (c) pre-school boosters 72 per cent. It is not yet possible to make forecasts of the likely levels of provision of particular services. As at 30 September, 390 payments had been made in respect of minor surgery sessions; 5,320 children were registered for child health surveillance services; and 966 payments in respect of health promotion clinics had been made.
