To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will take steps to encourage general practitioners to work together in locality commissioning projects. [3490]

Mr. Milburn

We mean to work with all in the NHS to develop new arrangements which best meet our objectives of providing high quality care to all on the basis of need. We wish to develop local commissioning and have already begun to meet the GP representative groups to explore how best to build on good practice wherever we may find it.
