Dr. Ray Walley:

Within general practice, 99% of practices are fully computerised and 24 million consultations occur every year. We are fully computerised because we are contractor-led practices and we understand the efficiency of computers. We get our blood tests back quickly and as the service improves in terms of reading referrals we can do more of that online. A lot of the services do not do that. Computerisation has been GP led because we are contractor-led.
