NHS Reform

14. Mr. Rathbone : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what special allowance he has made in his plans for National Health Service reforms to ensure proper general practitioner services for small town hospitals.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke : On 4 May I agreed with the GMSC negotiators that where GPs were providing a necessary service in the public sector, such as being a clinical assistant in a small hospital, they would be required by their terms of service to be available to their practice's patients on a minimum of four, rather than five days a week. This will ensure sufficient flexibility to allow GPs to continue their contracts with local hospitals.

25. Mr. David Harris : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how the proposals in the White Paper, "Working for Patients", will affect general practitioners' freedom to refer patients for treatment.

82. Mr. Hague : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how general practitioners' ability to refer patients for treatment will be affected by the proposed reform of the National Health Service.
