Deprivation Payments For Scottish Gps

EDM number 303 in 1994-95, proposed by Andrew Welsh on 15/12/1994.

That this House is concerned about changes in the calculation of deprivation payments for Scottish patients; notes that these changes mean Scottish patients have to be more deprived than equivalent patients in England before payments are triggered; further notes that this situation adversely affects the incomes of general practitioners in Scotland; seeks an immediate redress of this unfair situation; and, in recognising the valuable contribution that the Chapter 10.5 scheme makes to rural general practitioners in Scotland, calls on the Government to preserve the fund in its current form.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
