HC Deb 23 July 1993 vol 229 c509W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the total amount that general practitioner fund holders in each region have saved in their staff and hospital referrals and drug budgets in 1991–92 in real terms and as a percentage of the total staff hospital referral and drug budget in that region.

Mr. Sackville

General practitioner fundholders do not have separate budgets for staff, hospital referrals and prescribing. Total savings in 1991–92 were 4 per cent. of budgets set.
