So what does the PCG do? Well, it holds a budget of about f,50 million to run primary care and to purchase secondary care from hospital trusts. It's a Doc's With that amount of money you wor:ld think we could do a lot but like all branches of the health service we are hampered in wirat we would like to do Life A rolumn with a medical s/a ;t by lack of PCG's The vast majority of patients have no idea how the health service is run (and some doctors haven't a clue either!). I tm a GP board member of Flambleton & Richmondshire Primary Care Croup. PCG's were formed last year by this Laboar gorcinmcnt to replace the Tory implemented'Tund-holding" scheme. I am old enough to have secn quite a few reforms of the health service and over the years growD sceptical of new reforms. So is this any different? Let's just say it has potential. Over the years Primary Care (or General Practice) has grown from a Cinderella part of the medical profession to be in the forefront. The vast majority of patientdoctor contacts occur in prrmary care and we act as patieut advocates and gatekeepers to secondary care, or hospital-based services. Until recently tbe two halves of the profession operaied independently without much dialogue between primary and secondary care. One good thing about these reforms is that for the frst time it has got ttre two halves talkirlg to each other in a constructive way. money. The biggest expendihre in pnmary care is on drugs and a rec€nt increase in the cost of some drugs has had a serious effect on our budget.

CONCERT 2OOO on orls strotegy for richmondshire A REQUEST FROM GILLIAN HOWELLS We Need Your ThouEhts, Opinions, Feedbasi'r & (lf possible) YOUR PRESENCE AT A FOCUS GI?OUP MEETING. As some of you irray have read in the local papers I have been ernployed to research and write an Arts Strategy for the district. l'm aware that a lot of people's responce was 'what's one of them and why do we need it?' An audit of arts activity in 1997 revealed that there was a phenomenal amouni of aclivity at every level throughoul Richmondshire: by individuals and groups, professional and amateur, participant and consumer, at all ages and embracing every aspect of the arts. Tlris helped to demonstrate that the arts are for everyone not somethinE rarefied and remote They enrich our lives and bring a sense of well being The arts also benefit our communities in cultural, social, econonric and personal developmenl. Bearing those benefits in mind we need a strategy to help us to plan for the provision of the future I am tryrng to put together an overview of current activity and identify the strengths and the weaknesses, This will help to ensure that we are maximising existing resources and identify where extra resources may be needed in the future. lt will also look at ways of encouraging better collaborative working and see if we can develop a support strucdure for local arts groups and individuals. The strategy will explore how the identified actions will be financed and provide a tool in helping funding bodies (such as Lottery Boards, European and Government offices, local and County Councils) to make informed decisions Arts in HO'WEVER i NEED YOUR iiELP. i have seni oui ieiiers io indivicjuais anci groups to iei ihem know about the project and am using local newsletters and newspapers and radio to try and reach many more. I need to know what people are doing, what they would like to do and how they feef they could be helped I am therefore holding a series of meetings around the district (see below) and inviting people to attend Between 6.00 - 7.00pm I'd like people professionally or semi professionally involved in an ads activity to come - snd then the second session between 7.30 and 9.OOpfir is for everyone. The '97 Arts Audit suggested some options to meet identified needs - an agency or person to assist Arts Development, the development of more exhibition space for visual artists, more co- operation and sharing of resources, the development of certain spaces and venues across the district to support arts activity, more iraining for ihose involved in the arts, a Direclory of Artists (in the broadest sense) and resources, more help with promotton, more monel" Are these slill reler,:nt?
