title: Primary care. 'It's not about Americans in 10-gallon hats, it's about people who can deliver a high-quality service'.
abstract: Central and Greater Derby PCTs contract with UnitedHealth Europe is one of the first times an in-hours GP service is being provided under an alternative provider medical services contract. Organisations must seek input from stakeholders before deciding what a tender should include. The PCTs say they chose UHE because it could best meet local people's needs.
