asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will offer general practice trainers incentives in order to ensure that their practices are adequately organised to meet the needs of the special training that prospective practitioners need.

Improvement grants are already available to encourage all general medical practitioners to improve existing medical practice premises. Approval of trainers and training practices in Wales is the responsibility of the general Practice sub-committee of the committee for postgraduate medical education in Wales, which has to be satisfied that the practice premises and organisation will provide adequate opportunities for training in all aspects of a general practitioner's work.
