This document seeks to address some of the questions that GPs, and others, have been asking on how Primary Care Trusts will be established, how they will work, and the benefits they will bring. It should therefore enable all who have expressed interest in establishing a Primary Care Trust, or are considering doing so, to give more informed consideration to the opportunities and benefits. It is not intended to cover every issue to do with the establishment, formation or operation of Primary Care Trusts but aims to answer many of the initial questions individuals may have about Primary Care Trusts and their implications.
