Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Family Doctor Services.


Family Doctor Services

I am most grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way; he is being very generous. What he describes has particular resonance in Wiltshire, where the PCT seems to be giving GPs incentives to move towards a polyclinic system. For example, a polyclinic is being proposed for halfway between the town of Corsham and the nearby village of Box. That would be convenient for neither place, but the PCT appears to be giving GPs in both places financial incentives to move towards it, even if that is not in patients' best interests.
