I recall something going around on the LMC list server and the general
conclusion that this is not a contractual obligation. You do have to send in
data for the flu vacc ES but this is over & above. Some LMC/PCTs have agreed
Local enhanced service contracts for it but not many. You could try asking
the LMC secretary. If no help email me & I will get onto my domestic LMC
sec.
