Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the extent to which the organisation of the General Practitioner service continues to be suited to being the foundation of a comprehensive primary care health service.
The general practice partnership model has made a huge contribution over the lifetime of the National Health Service. This is why the Secretary of State has commissioned a review of the partnership model. The terms of the review are being developed with the British Medical Association and Royal College of General Practitioners.
