Third cohort of GP consortia announcedThe latest groups of GPs to take on commissioning responsibilities have been announced by health secretary Andrew Lansley. There are now 177 GP commissioning consortia covering two thirds of the country and 35 million people. The selected pathfinders represent GPs who have demonstrated readiness to start taking on commissioning responsibilities. As a big step towards delivering the plans set out in the health and social care bill, the groups will work together to help manage local budgets and purchase services for patients directly, working with other NHS colleagues and local authorities. See the full list of all GP pathfinders and the DH website for more information.
