Mr. Yates Mr. Yates

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Hanlon) Rory O'Hanlon

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Hanlon): I have made arrangements for a copy of the new terms and conditions to be sent to the Deputy. Health boards have now issued all those doctors participating in the GMS scheme with a copy of the agreement containing the new terms and conditions.

As mentioned in the House previously, the new terms and conditions contained in the agreement are primarily based on a capitation method of remuneration with the addition of a limited range of payments based on a fee-per-item method.

The costs associated with the new agreement are estimated to be of the order of £50 million, in a full year and will be met, in the normal way, from the [87] overall funding made available for the General Medical Services (Payments) Board.
