§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of States for Wales what is the membership of the GP fundholder steering group; what is the frequency of its meetings; and if he will make a statement concerning its work.
§ Mr. RedwoodI announced the formation of the OP fundholding steering group in my letter to all OP fundholders of 23 March 1994, copied to all health authorities. The group comprises representatives from the Welsh Office health department, health authorities, trusts and GP fundholders. It has met on three occasions; future meetings are expected to be bi-monthly.
I will write to the hon. Member about the composition of the group and the terms of reference, and place a copy in the Library of the House.
