Abstract:
:Family Health Service Authorities (FHSAs), since 1st April 1991, have been both 'managed', by the Regional Health Authority, and 'managing', their contractor services. Both situations are relatively new to them, their Region and the contractors. We examine the opportunities and potential problems of this major strategic change. These relate to: (1) the establishment of effective coordination between providers of primary care services; (2) the establishment of minimum basic standards of care and administration for GPs (based on those set for training practices by the Regional Advisors in General Practice); (3) the development and validation of a data collection system from General Practice which could be used to establish a morbidity database from general practice as a means of health needs assessment as well as for performance review.
