Press Release
Commissioning Reforms
25th January 2012
The coalition of the National Association of Primary Care and the NHS Alliance, are membership bodies which, between them, represent 75 per cent of primary care.
There is a high level of national debate on the NHS Bill and the reforms proposed, as highlighted by the responses to the Health Select Committee’s report this week. It is vital that we have this debate. We believe it is essential that we proceed with the reforms and empower clinicians and their patients to make the decisions about the health care they receive.

GPC Chairman Seeks End To PMS Contract Many of you will have seen the headlines in the GP press last week, where Dr Hamish Meldrum, Chairman of the General Practice Committee (GPC) of the British Medical Association, is reported to have said that PMS contracts should be scrapped and the GMS contract formula revised to reintroduce basic practice allowance. Dr Meldrum is also reported as saying that fewer contractual options were needed – GMS and APMS. We want to reassure PMS practices that the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) continues to support PMS as a locally negotiated contract and will be seeking re-confirmation from Ministers that the PMS contractual option is a permanent feature of our primary care landscape as promised by Minister of State, John Hutton. PMS practices support their Local Medical Committees and the GPC through the voluntary levy and many of our members are contemplating their resignation from the organisation, which appears to be actively working against their areas of interest. This is a matter for individual practices to determine. However, we wish to reassure you, as we have many times in the past, that NAPC is proactive in its endeavours to support the continuation of PMS as a contractual option and will be raising this issue as a matter of urgency with both Ministers and the GPC itself. If you are a member, please continue to let us have your queries about any contractual issues, which we will endeavour to clarify on your behalf. If you are not a member, we would encourage you to join the only organisation that has consistently promoted PMS since its inception.
Yours sincerely
Dr Peter Smith Dr James Kingsland
President Chairman
NAPC NAPC |
