Mr. Simon Hughes
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many contracts have been made between purchasers and providers in the NHS in each of the last five years; and how many GP fundholder contracts with providers have been made since fundholding began. [17341]
Mr. Milburn
Information on the number of contracts between purchasers and providers and on general practitioner fundholders' contracts is not collected centrally. Some data have been held at a regional level but this has not been collected or validated on a consistent basis.
