HC Deb 17 January 1995 vol 252 cc435-6W
Mr. Mullin

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will call for a report on the level of management allowance given to general practitioners in Sunderland who are (a) fundholders and (b) non-fundholders.

Mr. Malone

No. Management allowances reimburse fundholding general practitioners for costs incurred in directly managing their funds and purchasing care on behalf of their patients.

Non-fundholders do not have such additional responsibilities and do not receive management allowances.
