§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has and what consultations he has set up on the introduction of a salaried status scheme for general practice. [40668]
§ Mr. Hague[holding answer 14 October 1996]: Proposals for the development of primary care health services, including a salaried option for general practitioners, are set out in the White Paper "Choice and Opportunity", Cm 3390, published on 15 October. This issue is also addressed in the document "Primary Care: The Way Forward in Wales", also published on 1081W 15 October, which reflects the views put forward in the Principality during the wide-ranging consultation exercise which preceded the White Paper.
Copies of both documents have been placed in the Library of the House.
