Abstract:

The government's proposals for primary care groups assume GPs will be able to direct commissioning organisations more successfully than their fundholder predecessors. Under the previous system, practices incapable of managing a budget and purchasing health services were, in effect, ruled out of fundholding. Guidelines are needed specifying the skills and expertise required for membership of PCGs.
