The consultation on giving people a greater choice over which GP practice they can register with will now run until the 2 July.  Once the consultation closes, the current Government - who have also pledged to allow patients to register where they want, without being restricted by where they live - will consider the responses.

It is important that members of the public, clinicians, voluntary bodies and employers continue to have the opportunity to contribute to the consultation. The consultation documents are available at www.gpchoice.dh.gov.uk PCT communication teams can continue to order copies of the patient leaflet from the Department of Health’s publications orderline www.orderline.dh.gov.uk
