Commenting on the agreement for a swine flu vaccination programme to be rolled out by GPs across Wales, Dr David Bailey, chairman of the BMA's Welsh General Practitioners Committee, said:

"I am pleased that we have reached agreement on the delivery of the vaccination to the at risk population. General practice is an efficient and adaptable model that reaches into every community in Wales and is best placed to deliver the vaccination. GPs are used to delivering large scale vaccination programmes that target patients at highest risk and this agreement means that GPs and their teams will have the resources they need to take on the additional workload and run the vaccination programme smoothly and efficiently.

"We are pleased that cooperative working with the Welsh Assembly Government and public health is continuing and we look forward to delivering the protection for vulnerable groups that the people of Wales deserve".
