The new contract framework will be essential to deliver the ambitions set out in the NHS Long Term Plan through strong general practice services.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 14/05/2019 15:19:18 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy attachment 1 file name PQ252606 Annex 1 GPs per 100000 patients table formatted.docx title Regular GP Table
