§ Mr. DenhamMinisters and officials regularly receive representations on a wide range of National Health Service matters, including those affecting general practitioners.
We have, in addition, just undertaken the most comprehensive and ambitious consultation exercise in the history of the NHS in England.

Some of the responses have commented on or made suggestions about the role of general practitioners.
