My noble friend makes an excellent point and I will certainly do so. There is an attempt not just to recruit many more GPs into service but to recruit them into hard-to-reach areas, such as rural areas, through a targeted recruitment campaign. I am sure that that is one of the areas that we will want to look at.

My Lords, is it intended that locums will be covered by the scheme?

My understanding is that the scheme is for all providers of primary medical care services under GMS, PMS and APMS contracts.
