I have no problem with the concept of PCG's. There is the possibility of
putting local government services, voluntary and charity services,
primary, secondary, and tertiary medical services into the pot and
applying an overall local assessment.
Looking around the internet I see much discussion, plenty of good ideas
and a lot of duplication. What is happening to it all? The ideas need to
turn into activity somewhere and PCG's seem a reasonable focus. There
needs to be substantial reassurance from government to the participants
in order to to free the imagination and to establish the new links that
are required to turn the concept into some sort of reality.
