  • Title: Primary care groups. The cultivated commissioner.
    Author: Baines D, Couper N.
    Journal: Health Serv J; 1998 Apr 30; 108(5602):26-7. PubMed ID: 10180414.
    Abstract:
    The government's proposals for primary care groups assume GPs will be able to direct commissioning organisations more successfully than their fundholder predecessors. Under the previous system, practices incapable of managing a budget and purchasing health services were, in effect, ruled out of fundholding. Guidelines are needed specifying the skills and expertise required for membership of PCGs.
