GP commissioning: insights from medical groups in the United States
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
GP commissioning forms one of the most radical proposals set out in the NHS White Paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS (Department of Health, 2010a): groups of GPs will be responsible for deciding how to spend NHS resources to meet local health needs. For the past two decades some doctors’ groups in the United States have held the equivalent of a commissioning budget. This briefing is based on a study visit to four such groups in California, and highlights some of the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing GP commissioning in the English NHS.
