Primary cares. Messages from the frontline.
The biggest hurdle in the establishment of primary care groups is practices' reluctance to co-operate. GPs will want compensation for the time spent on administration. There is little awareness of the fact that PCG budgets may run out. The development of PCGs is expected to lead to an increase in salaried GPs. Current IT systems are seen as inadequate for PCGs.
