One-fifth of GPs in new contracts

Nearly one-fifth of general practitioners in England are now working in personal medical services contracts, according to figures released by the Minister of State for Health (John Hutton) on 16 November.

More than 5,500 GPs, 18 per cent of the total, now work in PMS contracts, up from 4 per cent when the National Health Service plan was launched in July 2000.

The Government's aim is to have a third of GPs working in PMS contracts by April next year.
