To ask the Secretary of State for Health what change in general practitioners' salaries there has been in real terms since 1979. [16423]

For 1994–95, the average general practitioner will earn £41,890 for the provision of general medical services— a real terms increase of 40 per cent. over 1978–79. The average GP also receives an extra £3,150 for achieving higher target levels of coverage for childhood immunisations and cervical cytology screening.
