Section 8 - Political representation of PMS GPs
Local representation
Although PMS GPs do not have to pay the statutory levy to local medical committees, they can be asked to make a voluntary contribution to the running of the LMC. Most LMCs have developed considerable expertise in PMS-related matters and are able to offer their PMS GPs a comparable level of local representation to GMS GPs.

National representation
PMS GPs are represented nationally through the GPC negotiating team and collectively through the other GPC subcommittees, but in particular the Contracts and Performance subcommittee. Any queries on PMS matters can be referred for consideration by the GPC by sending them by email to: info.gpc@bma.org.uk.
