§ Mr. Michael MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his Department's policy on computer reimbursement for general practitioners for the current financial year 1991–92.
§ Mr. DorrellUp to 50 per cent. of the cost of purchasing, leasing, maintaining and upgrading practice systems, and up to 70 per cent. of initial staff costs will be reimburseable in 1991–92. The limit related to list size which previously applied has been abolished. Separate arrangements apply to GP fundholders. We hope to be able to issue, in the near future, detailed guidelines to enable regional health authorities to implement this policy.
