Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the statement made by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Community on 11th January 2005, 429 c63WH, if he will clarify the position regarding the funding given by Somerset Coast Primary Care Trust to Trumpington House surgery.

Answer: Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the statement made by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health on 11 January 2005, Official Report, column 63WH, if he will clarify the position regarding the funding given by Somerset Coast Primary Care Trust to Trumpington House surgery. [220644] Dr. Ladyman: I regret that my previous statement, given on 11 January 2005, Official Report, column 63WH, was incorrect. I am advised that, following acceptance of the new general medical service contract, the primary care trust (PCT) has an ongoing investment of £450,991 in the Trumpington House surgery. The Somerset Coast PCT has been allocated an additional £250,000 capital funding for 2005-06 to assist with the development of this modernisation project. I also understand that additional recurrent revenue, in the form of notional rent payments, will be allocated to the surgery to fund this development.
