Annotation	This White paper follows on from consultations on primary care in 1995. More flexible arrangements for providing family health services were seen as essential to the objectives of: promoting consistently high quality services and using financial resources to meet local needs effectively; enabling professionals to use their skills to the full, which the legislative and contractual framework prevents from happening; and providing more flexible employment opportunities in primary care. This White Paper concentrates mainly on GPs, dentists, pharmacists and optometrists; but it also recognises the implications for nurses, health visitors, midwives, therapists and managers and others concerned with delivering primary health care.
