News alert / Consultation on GP incentives
The government is seeking views on the role of incentives in general practice. In England, GPs are incentivised through two schemes – the quality and outcomes framework (QOF) and the investment and impact fund (IIF) – which aim for continuous improvement in clinical care and public health delivery. The consultation will gather feedback on: the role and nature of GP incentive schemes, with a focus on the current scope of the QOF and the IIF; possible changes in scope of incentive schemes beyond clinical indicators; and reducing the administrative burden associated with the schemes and enhancing the clinician’s experience of delivering them. The consultation closes on 7 March 2024.
