EDM number 2305A1 in 1992-93, proposed by Stephen Day on 21/07/1993.
leave out from 'House' to end and add 'recognises the essential contribution made by GPs and their teams to health care and to improving the health of the nation reflected, for example, in their achievement of immunising over 90 per cent. of children against the major diseases, beating the World Health Organisation's target; welcomes the fact that, since 1979, expenditure on family doctor services has risen by 137 per cent. in real terms, that the average family doctor's actual income has increased by 44 per cent. ahead of inflation and that the average list size has fallen by nearly one fifth; notes the concerns of general practitioners about morale and related issues; and calls upon the Government to press forward with its policy initiatives such as the review of complaints procedures, the 'Help Us to Help You' campaign, developing the role of co-operatives and the working group inquiring into violence against GPs in order to address the concerns of a profession which, as the Secretary of State for Health has said, is and will remain the cornerstone of the NHS.'.
