Payments to practices for commissioning
05 October 2011

A Pulse investigation reveals GPs in some areas are either going unpaid or receiving as little as 10p patient this financial year – not enough to cover time spent out of practice. There is sharp variation in how GPs are being funded for commissioning activity, with some practices paid almost £4 per patient.
