Health secretary Andrew Lansley will visit a series of primary care centres as part of a White Paper consultation.
Last week pharmacy minister Earl Howe visited the St Peter’s Hill surgery in Grantham, Lincolnshire, and met local GPs to hear their views. He described the practice as "a model" for what the Department of Health would like to see across England.
Lansley recently met local GPs at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, which doubles as an out-of-hours centre, as part of a series of ‘listening events’ across England. He said he will visit every strategic health authority area "to listen first hand to those who deliver and access the services that we all want to see improved."
Health minister Simon Burns was set to visit the Colchester Primary Care Centre in Essex on Wednesday and on Thursday Earl Howe will visit a GP commissioning group in Sheffield. Four consultations on the various aspects of the White Paper will run until October 11.
