The report of the general medical services global sum formula review group, which contains a number of recommendations on changes to the current formula, is now available. The report is currently out for consultation until 11 May. A copy of the report has been placed in the Library.
Total expenditure on enhanced services under the new general medical services contract (over the period 2004-05 to 2006-07) is estimated to be £2,067 million.
In 2005-06, the total primary care trust (PCT) enhanced services floor was £676 million. For 2006-07, it was agreed with the British Medical Association’s General Practitioner Committee that enhanced services floors would be frozen at 2005-06 levels.
The overall level of investment by PCTs in 2005-06 is £655 million (based on their audited annual accounts). Forecasts received from PCTs for 2006-07 indicates an overall spend on enhanced services of £824 million.
