The national Collection of Health Data from General Practice project
is doing just this, using MIQUEST - and we are currently considering
how we can best work with Commissioning Groups and PCAPs. For more
information about the project, see our website
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/gp/chdgp or phone me.
Best wishes
