Dept of Health

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many representations he has received from PCGs and PCTs on their state of preparation for new PCT responsibilities.

Answer: Mr. Burns: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many representations he has received from PCGs and PCTs on their state of preparation for new PCT responsibilities. [46737] Mr. Hutton: I have received no representations from primary care groups (PCGs) or primary care trusts (PCTs) on their state of preparation for their new PCT responsibilities. All PCTs have been established after full and open consultation locally, giving every opportunity for views and concerns to be expressed and addressed at that stage.
