  • Title: Primary care trusts. Ready, steady, stop.
    Author: Baxter K, Shepherd J, Weiss M, Le Grand J.
    Journal: Health Serv J; 2002 Mar 14; 112(5796):28-9. PubMed ID: 11915405.
    Abstract:
    A survey of primary care groups and trusts in South West region found most felt they had little autonomy. Most were level-2 PCGs, taking responsibility for managing a budget for commissioning services. About a third were still relying heavily on their health authority for commissioning. The results suggest that the proposal to allocate 75 per cent of NHS funds to PCTs by 2004 will be unrealistic in some areas.
