31. The functions of the Executive Councils will be:- (a) making all arrangements to secure general practitioner services for their area in accordance with regulations made under the Act; (b) entering into the necessary contracts with - and remunerating - the doctors, dentists and chemists taking part in the family practitioner services, both in health centres and outside; (c) providing the necessary machinery for the hearing of complaints and disputes between patient and doctor, patient and chemist and so on - with appeals to the Minister; (d) compiling, and making known to the public, lists of the doctors, dentists and others available for the service, in the health centres and outside; and generally arranging for the selection of doctors, etc., by the patients and the allocation to doctors of those unable - or unwilling - to make their own selection; (e) providing regular information as to the situation of the general practitioner services of their area (e.g. of the need for more doctors, or less, to meet local requirements). Health Centres 32. The provision and maintenance of health centre (including dental centre) premises and equipment - and for nursing, secretarial and other ancillary staff - will be the duty of the local health authorities. It can thus be correlated with their provision of child welfare clinics, school clinics, and other activities. To arrange for the use of the centres by doctors and dentists in the family practitioner services, the local health authority will in each case deal with the new Executive Council which will be contracting with the doctors and dentists for these services generally - and on which the local health authority will have the representation indicated above (para. 30). The doctors' and dentists' general terms of service covered by national regulations, will cover the terms and conditions governing their use of health centres provided by local authorities. The doctors and dentists will thus remain in contract with the Executive Council and be remunerated by it, whether inside or outside the centres, to secure unity and mobility throughout the family practitioner services. /Remuneration
