About the Book

Each year general medical practices provide some 290 million consultations. The new contract - implemented in April 2004 but increased spending began in April 2003 - changed the basis for commissioning primary care services. Instead of contracting with individual General Practitioners (GPs), Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) commission services from some 8,325 GP practices with around 33,000 GPs. "NHS Pay Modernisation: New Contracts for General Practice Services in England (HC 307)" examines the negotiation and implementation of the new contract and how well it is working in practice.In the first three years the PCTs spent GBP 1.76 billion (9.4 per cent) more than the minimum committed by the Department. Mostly this was due to an underestimation of the amount that GPs would earn from the pay-for-performance scheme, the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), and the additional cost of providing out-of-hours care (most GPs have opted out of providing this service). GPs' salaries have increased by an average of 58 per cent; practice nurses have not benefited to the same extent.While the number of consultations with patients has increased these are not in proportion with the increase in costs and productivity has fallen by 2. 5 per cent per year. GPs are working less hours. Some progress has been made in: extending the range of patient services; reduced administration; high quality care; linking pay and performance; and staff satisfaction and morale. Progress has not yet been demonstrated in productivity and re-designing the services around patients. The contract has contributed to improved recruitment and retention of GPs.The National Audit Office recommends that the Department develop a strategy for yearly negotiations on the QOF, which should be based more on health outcomes. PCTs should provide more services based on local need and review the number and skills of staff employed to commission and performance manage GP services with the aim of improving local commissioning.
