ANDREW LANSLEY ON GP CONSORTIA SIZE 
Health Secretary estimates consortia numbers Despite the government's insistence that there is no official optimum size for GP consortia, many observers have argued that those with populations of fewer than 500,000 would be too small to operate effectively. The secretary of state appears to share that view. Pressed during a radio interview to estimate the number of consortia to emerge from his NHS reforms, Andrew Lansley said he thought there would be between 220 and 240 by 2013.

PCT FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES TO BE PASSED TO GP CONSORTIA    
For NALM Members   Date: 30 September, 2010 | By Steve Ford
Summary: 
A list of their functions has been sent to primary care trusts in order to aid discussions over the future transfer of commissioning powers with fledgling GP consortia.

The comprehensive list of statutory and non statutory functions (see below) has been drawn up jointly by the PCT Network and the Department of Health, and has been distributed to PCTs this week.

PCT Network director David Stout told HSJ some PCTs had already drawn up their own similar lists and the central list was intended to reduce the duplication and variation of such work. 

In a letter sent to all GPs last week, health secretary Andrew Lansley highlighted that not all current PCT functions would pass to consortia, with some becoming the responsibility of local authorities and some being stopped altogether. 

Mr Stout told HSJ the new list was not an attempt to suggest who should take responsibility in future for the functions outlined or which ones should be dropped. 

He said: “This is a very straightforward list of PCT functions we have drawn up for our members to act as an aid for the early stages of discussions on the establishment of GP led commissioning.”

“There is a danger of burdening new consortia with functions that don’t particularly fit with their main focus. Andrew Lansley himself has said that some functions will cease, but we will need further clarification about the white paper’s proposals before know what these may be,” he said.

“The network is going to be looking at the issue in more detail throughout the rest of the year,” he said.
