HC Deb 11 February 1994 vol 237 c539W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the extent of over or under-spending on general practitioner fundholder budgets for 1992–93 in each family health services authority and national health service region; and what sums were retained or returned by general practitioner fundholders in each case.

Dr. Mawhinney

Regional level information will not be available until all fundholder accounts have been audited and local arrangements for the voluntary return of savings have been completed. Local information, at family health services authority level, is not collected centrally.

Mrs. Bridget Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many fundholding practices there are in the Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark FHSA; and if she will list them with the amount of financial surplus for each practice for 1992–93.

Dr. Mawhinney
