Can we go back to 1990 please, with hospitals working on block contracts. OK it led to log-jams and delays because funding didn't follow the patient, and it didn't incentivise hospitals to investigate and operate. But it sure beats the current ballyhoo with ridiculous transaction and bureaucracy costs. I'll join a co-commissioning consortium with a local hospital, where the hospital works to a block contract for members GPs, consultants monitor GPs and influence their bonuses, and vice-versa, and that keeps the system running in the public interest. - Alick Munro
