NHS Confederation welcomes government’s launch of a review of the Carr-Hill formula
Review is an important opportunity to ensure that funding for general practice truly reflects the needs of today’s patients and communities.
Responding to the announcement that the government is set to launch a review of the Carr-Hill formula for distributing GP funding, Dr Duncan Gooch, GP and chair of the NHS Confederation’s Primary Care Network, said:
“We welcome the government’s announcement to start the review of the Carr-Hill formula. It’s an important opportunity to ensure that funding for general practice truly reflects the needs of today’s patients and communities. The formula must take proper account of factors such as deprivation, population growth, and the rising complexity of health needs — as well as the increasing workload facing practices.
